QT Bondi | Best places to stay in Sydney

"Stepping into the buzzy reception area at QT Bondi is to enter a citadel of global coolness. The QT brand is about having fun in the sun and looking obscenely gorgeous. If you tick any of these boxes, you’ll love this beachside pleasure palace, with its retro murals, designer chairs and chilled vibe. There is plenty to love about this hotel: firstly, its sense of playfulness evident in the surf-themed pop art in the foyer; and secondly, its location, just five minutes from the pounding surf on Bondi Beach. Need to tone your body before hitting the waves? No worries. There’s an excellent fitness club onsite. " - Mark Chipperfield
