Metropole Heritage
1930s Art Deco Charm in the Heart of Katoomba
Step into the refined elegance of the 1930s at Metropole Katoomba, a lovingly maintained boutique guesthouse that captures the spirit of the Art Deco era. Our heritage-listed building offers a warm welcome framed by stained-glass windows, polished wood panelling and period furnishings. Established during Katoomba’s golden age, our Art Deco experience awaits your exploration.
At The Metropole Guesthouse, we combine the warmth of affordable heritage accommodation in the Blue Mountains with the essential amenities today’s travellers expect. Whether you're visiting for a romantic escape, family adventure, or a small group getaway, our facilities are designed to make your stay relaxed, comfortable, and memorable.
Located just across from Katoomba train station and within walking distance of Scenic World, Echo Point, and local dining spots, we offer both convenience and charm under one heritage roof.
