Character and identity
Tucked into the back of Sydney's former Paramount Picture Studios in Surry Hills, this 29-room hotel occupies a restored 1940s Art Deco brick building that architects Fox Johnston spent nine years coaxing back to life. It functions as part of a wider creative compound: the Golden Age Cinema downstairs (mainstream films and a devoted Rocky Horror crowd), the Coffee Project café, a co-working space, a rooftop recreation club running yoga and Pilates, and Poly, the bistro and wine bar from Mat Lindsay of Ester. Rooms lean industrial with handwoven rugs, Tasmanian merino throws and Aesop amenities. Service is warm and neighbourhood-literate.
Who's it for
Best for:
Design-minded couples and solo travellers in fashion, film or the arts who want to plug into Sydney's most interesting creative pocket. Anyone who values a small, characterful property with strong food and drink on the doorstep, walkable access to Hyde Park, and a quietly cool crowd will feel at home.
Should look elsewhere:
Families, business travellers needing a conventional full-service hotel, and anyone wanting a harbour view or quick Circular Quay access (it's a 20-minute trip). The Loft rooms place the bathroom inside the bedroom, so book elsewhere if you're not travelling with someone comfortable with that.
Bottom line
What you're really booking is a creative compound disguised as a hotel: cinema, coffee, co-working, yoga and one of the city's better bistros, all under one Art Deco roof in Surry Hills. Spend the money if you want to live like a local in Sydney's most artsy quarter. The Loft category, with its skylit bed and Japanese soaking tub, is the room to request, and book Poly well ahead.
