Hotel Diplomat Sydney

Hotel Diplomat is a boutique hotel at 17 Bayswater Road, Potts Point, a few minutes' walk from Kings Cross station and about 500 m west of Rushcutters Bay Park. Its own site says it was formerly The Bayswater Hotel Sydney, and some booking sites still use that name. Google's listing mentions rooms and suites, free Wi-Fi and guest laundry. It's a mainstream hotel, not a gay venue. Rushcutters Bay has no gay bars of its own; Oxford Street in Darlinghurst, where Sydney's gay bars are, is about 1.5–2 km away. Google rates it 4.0 from about 510 reviews. Bayswater Road near Kings Cross stays busy late on weekends, so ask for a room away from the street if you sleep lightly.
