About The Metropole Guest House

Right opposite Katoomba station, this 1930s guesthouse drops you straight into the Blue Mountains without needing a car. Guests head upstairs to find timber-lined nooks and crackling open fires across shared lounges, with a vintage pool table tucked into the games room. Mornings start downstairs with fresh Bircher muesli, hot breakfast plates, and made-to-order coffee before day-trippers hit the walking trails. Evenings invite a slow game of chess in the library or a quiet mug of house mulled wine.

  • Station-front launchpad: Steps from train platforms and regional buses for effortless car-free trail access.
  • 1930s communal lounges: Shared reading nooks, open fireplaces, chess tables, and a vintage billiards room.
  • Guesthouse breakfasts & teas: Hot morning plates, house-made Bircher muesli, and afternoon Devonshire tea.

  • Request Custom Breakfast Options in Advance

    The breakfast buffet includes vegan and dietary dishes, and the kitchen will prepare fried eggs or custom coffees upon request. Notify the team ahead of time so the chef can accommodate.

    Heritage guest rooms can be compact, so take full advantage of the open-fireplace sitting rooms, library with books and chess, and the games room featuring a pool table.
