Sydney is the largest and most exciting cities in Australia - especially in the hotter months leading up to Christmas, New Year's Eve and the summer holidays, when there are plenty of outdoor festivals, sporting and cultural events to enjoy. If you are thinking about visiting the city, finding the best time to book a Sydney hotel is an easy way to ensure you save on accommodation.

Here are 4 factors to bear in mind:

Major annual events

Sydney has plenty of major annual events that could significantly increase room prices. These include New Year's Eve, Christmas, Mardi Gras, sporting events and much more. Book a Sydney hotel near the end, or at the beginning of these events for a better deal.

School holidays

There are four school terms in New South Wales, and school holidays begin in early April, early July, early October and mid-December. Some Sydney hotels will offer fantastic school holiday packages and there are always plenty of activities that the whole family can enjoy.

Peak season

The best time to head to Sydney is during New Years, Christmas and the summer holidays in January. However, this is also peak season when Sydney hotel prices naturally increase. If you want to cut down on costs, travel to Sydney near the end or at the very beginning of peak season. Visit cambridgehotel.com.au for an inner city, Sydney hotel that offers affordable prices all-year round.

Spring festivals and events

Sydney is a city that has great weather all-year round. And as such, there are always plenty of attractions, festivals and events that locals get to enjoy throughout the year. For example, in October alone (which is spring in Australia), there is the Sydney International Food Festival, Darling Harbour Fiesta, as well as Art and About - proving you don't need to come in the summer months to enjoy everything Sydney has to offer. Spring is a great time to cut down on Sydney hotel costs.

To experience the best of what Sydney has to offer, stay at Sydney hotels like Cambridge Hotel, which is located in the heart of the city.

Unique in its design and located in the heart of Sydney city, the Quality Cambridge Hotel offers 4-star quality accommodation, award-winning service at affordable prices.
