The Best Hotels Near Kyah, by the Record
-
A Seventies motel in the Blue Mountains, reborn as a 46-room boutique hotel with Palm Springs as the mood board. Rooms still open directly to the outside, no corridors or lobby to navigate, and they run from a single king up to a two-bedroom suite with a spa bath. The on-site restaurant, Blaq, leans into the Blackheath surrounds, pulling ingredients from the property's own garden when the season allows.

Rammed-earth walls and Italian linen share a room at this four-chalet stay in the Blue Mountains, where the grounds were handed to conservationists before the builders got a look in. Wood-burning stoves, soaking tubs, stocked wine fridges, and champagne at check-in make the case for the interior, while over 80 native plant species have quietly returned outside. It's a small, considered retreat for people who like their isolation comfortable.

Perched at the cliff's edge above the Jamison Valley with the Three Sisters looming next door, this country house hotel outside Katoomba earns its views the old-fashioned way: picture windows in nearly every room. The 85-room property feels considerably smaller and more personal than that number suggests, with a spa and pool setup that punches well above the hotel's size, plus a library and billiards room for those allergic to wellness.
