The Vulcan is named after the Roman god of fire, a fitting reference to the area’s industrial past. It is usually associated with the melting of iron to make both weapons and agricultural implements.

Built in 1894, the Vulcan Hotel provided high-class boutique accommodation and drinks for travellers in the Sydney city district. Specifically, those who were involved with the storage of wool, shipping and the ironworks that were all in the vicinity of the hotel.

Over the years, the Vulcan Hotel has become part of the fabric of the local community. Formerly famous as a venue for jazz bands, it was also known as a great ‘watering hole’ for locals and students. The Vulcan is fondly remembered for both its bands and great atmosphere throughout the many years it traded as a pub/hotel.

A new chapter in the Vulcan’s storied past began at the end of 2002. Following a multi-million dollar refurbishment to the inside of this heritage-listed building, it now provides boutique accommodation in the city of Sydney today. The restoration preserved the building’s distinctive heritage character, while introducing contemporary comforts and facilities.

All rooms are ensuited and equipped with their own facilities to make your stay as enjoyable and comfortable as possible.
