Ravesi's Bondi Beach, Reminiscing Ensues

Where: 118 Campbell Parade, Sydney, NSW, Australia, 2026

Busiest bar in Bondi, models hanging out in the lobby, and most importantly a glorious view of Bondi Beach from 14 of the 16 seaside rooms--that's Ravesi's Hotel at Bondi Beach. The sea view rooms come complete with tall arched windows that open to the beach. Well, sort of. The beach is across the street. Ravesi is part seaside motel, part boutique hotel and guests tend to love it or hate it. Those that pan the place, usually mention poor service, and those that love it mention style, location, and private balconies overlooking Bondi--sounds par for the course for a trendy boutique hotel.

Back in HotelChatter's younger days, before our days were consumed with web musings, we use to take that blue bus you see in the above view photo from Sydney's Central Station to Bondi (a transfer happened somewhere along the way), do the cliff walk from Bondi to Bronte, lounge a bit, walk back to Bondi, and hit Fishmonger's up for some killer fish and chips. Ravesi did not exist during those days, but we can imagine a stop at Ravesi fitting into our Bondi routine quite nicely.

Oh, what? You didn't ask? Fine. Bonus photo of the Ravesi lobby post break, since you took the time to listen.
