With flights now cheaper than ever, tourism is booming. New hotels are sprouting up in every corner of the globe, and that extends to Australia too. Among the ones that have already opened this year and those still set to be unveiled, here are our top picks.
It seems every shop or venue to grace the streets of Surry Hills becomes cool by osmosis. One look inside the recently-opened Paramount House Hotel however it’s clear its neighbourhood isn’t the only thing to attribute to its trendiness.
Planted in the former headquarters of Paramount Picture Studios, the hotel drips style from its every detail. Its atrium-style lobby blends old with new – think brick walls with fresh timber floors – and every one of its 29 rooms is different to the next. French linen sheets adorn the beds; Aesop amenities line the bathroom shelves.
