"For Art Deco allure you can’t beat Primus Hotel Sydney, launched in 2015 in the heart of the CBD (Central Business District). Architects Woods Bagot transformed the iconic 1939 former Sydney Water Board headquarters into a luxe urban retreat. The dramatic, elegant lobby sets the scene, with soaring red columns dwarfing the convivial clusters of pink lounge chairs below, and geometric rugs and wallpaper channelling the period." - Sophie Davies
