"Housed in a former pub in Chippendale, this edgy, design-forward hotel fuses industrial bones—exposed brick, timber beams—with midcentury-modern furnishings and minimalist, warm rooms featuring luxurious soaking tubs. Highlights include a vintage-inspired ground-floor cocktail bar, a rooftop pool with 360-degree city views, and Automata, the hotel’s celebrated restaurant where chef Clayton Wells turns local ingredients into surprising dishes such as razorfish paired with Sydney rock oyster emulsion; service throughout the property is consistently praised." - Krisanne Fordham
