Sydney's oldest pub was established in 1841 after serving as a private residence since its construction in 1836. It's an attractive, three-story sandstone building with a busy pub on the ground floor, a good brasserie on the second, and hotel accommodations on the third. The "small" rooms are true to their name, with room for not much more than a bed and a small TV. For an extra A$30 (U.S.$21) you get lots more space. All rooms were totally upgraded and refurbished in late 1998. From its creaky floorboards and bedroom walls made from convict-hewn sandstone blocks, to the narrow corridors and the wood fire and homemade beer down in the bar, the Lord Nelson positively wallows in atmosphere.
