Hotels in Blue Mountains, Australia
The Blue Mountains, just 90 minutes west of Sydney, are famous for their dramatic sandstone cliffs and the iconic Three Sisters rock formation. The climate is temperate, with cool winters (around 40°F/4°C) perfect for cozying up in a mountain cabin after hiking the Six Foot Track, and warm summers (around 80°F/27°C) ideal for riding the Scenic Railway-the steepest funicular in the world-down into the Jamison Valley. Spring brings blooming wildflowers on the Grand Canyon Track, while autumn's clear skies offer your best chance to catch the golden sunrise at Echo Point Lookout.
