Hotels in Sydney

Make Architects' 2023 conversion of Sydney's 1892 Department of Education building — sandstone heritage, glass courtyard addition.

Breathe Architecture's Paramount House sits inside a 1940s Surry Hills warehouse with raw brick interiors, a rooftop pool, and Reuben Hills coffee on the ground floor.

Bar Studio's Circular Quay West fit-out orients every public room toward the Opera House—warm Australian sandstone, teak, and linen amplifying the harbour view rather than competing with it—making this the most single-mindedly contextual luxury hotel in Sydney.

Hearty pub classics and craft beer, in a light-filled space with wood decor and colourful benches.

Michael Dysart's 34-storey tower opened October 1982 as The Regent above Sydney Cove, rebranded Four Seasons in 2002 — Joseph Pang Design Consultants on the interiors with multiple subsequent room refreshes (1999 AUD 65M renovation, 2009/2019 room cycles). 531 keys, 100+ contemporary Australian artworks, with Mode Kitchen & Bar under Gaurav Bide and Grain Bar (the Heart of the Garden cocktail) for dining. Endota Spa and the Lounge 32 club lounge for executives.

A Surry Hills heritage building transformed by Flack Studio into one of Sydney's most design-forward hotels.

Woods Bagot's 1985 tower incorporated the 1851 Treasury Building's sandstone facades into its Bridge Street base—one of Sydney's earliest heritage integrations—giving upper-floor rooms an unobstructed Sydney Harbour and Circular Quay panorama.

The Sheraton Grand's curved 22-storey facade has overlooked Hyde Park since 1992; a $50 million renovation refreshed the rooms in a celadon-and-grey palette drawn from the park, the rooftop pool sitting high enough to frame views across the tree canopy to the Harbour.
