"A 192-room luxury property opened in 2023 in a restored, century-old former Department of Education building, with neutral-hued interiors that foreground meaningful connections to Aboriginal and Australian art. The on-site program features textiles and photography curated with the Artling, standout works such as a trio of color-saturated canvases by Waanyi artist Judy Watson and a Max Berry landscape, plus a large McRae Bar mural by Otis Hope Carey that references his Gumbaynggirr people’s spiritual emblem; the hotel also offers a complimentary Sydney Architecture Walk." - Jennifer Flowers, Kathryn Romeyn
