This is the 3rd time staying at this hotel. We booked the Lady Carrington Suite and it was fantastic. Such a comfortable bed, nice and quiet and a great view of the mountains and town. For such an old hotel with so much history, it is kept in great condition. The staff are always friendly and inviting. Highly recommend.

We love the Carrington. We have stayed here many times. This is our go-to in the Blue Mountains ..every time. If you love old world charm, great service and ambience, you can't go past this place. It is just gorgeous, everything about it. You cant beat the Carrington for your stay in the mountains!

The Carrington is a beautiful old hotel that has seen better days. It is getting worn out. You have to battle the lift to get on it, the floors and stairs creak ominously. We booked dinner reservations for their lovely dining room but they were not necessary-only 6 other people were seated/eating while we were there. The location may have something to do with this. It is my understanding that Katoomba was once a lovely town, but it also has seen better days. My suggestion is to stay and visit nearby Laura.

Wonderful stay at the Carrington.

Wonderful stay at Carrington Hotel, regrettable only for 1 night. A special treat for myself and granddaughter. I came in late 1990's and it was almost derelict - wonderful to see it restored to it's former glory. Everything was perfect, ambience of public areas also made it memorable. Highly recommend a stay here, you won't regret it.
