Industrial-chic hotel with rooftop cafe, yoga, and cinema


80 Commonwealth St, Surry Hills NSW 2010, Australia Get directions
"This inner-city boutique hotel has New York loft-style rooms, Japanese timber baths, and little touches like gorgeous terrazzo floors. Despite the prime location on the fringes of the CBD, in walking distance from Surry Hills and Chippendale (two suburbs you’ll want to explore), Paramount House Hotel is a place you don’t really need to leave. There’s Paramount Coffee Project on the ground floor, the excellent restaurant/bar Poly next door, and subterranean, arthouse Golden Age Cinema below street level. There’s also a recreation club where you can do pilates and yoga, next to AP Bakery on the rooftop. And if you need somewhere to work while you visit, co-working setup The Office Space is also in the building." - caroline clements 33

"A cinematic restoration of the former Paramount Pictures headquarters in Surry Hills, this design-forward hotel retains industrial character—patinaed brick, exposed timber beams—and channels it into a sunny atrium lobby and stylish rooms stocked with boutique amenities. The 29 rooms feature quality linens, Aesop toiletries and minibars highlighting local producers, while adjacencies like the Paramount Coffee Project café and the Poly wine bar (with room service available from Poly) make it a neighborhood hub for locals and guests seeking top-tier casual dining and oysters without leaving the building." - Krisanne Fordham

"Set in a former Paramount film studio, this hotel felt cinematic and convenient, with a specialty coffee shop on the ground floor and Chin Chin just across the street for easy, flavorful dining." - Laura Dannen Redman
"I recommend Paramount House Hotel in Surry Hills as a hip city base with a wine bar, rooftop bakery, and the in-house Paramount Coffee Project; it’s an ideal spot to return to after a day of walking." - Julia Eskins Julia Eskins Julia Eskins is a writer and editor covering travel, design, and culture.
