 "Impeccable rooms and superb in-house dining lift this into the top flight of mid-size hotels in Australia." Full review
 "This swish, five-star boutique hotel has become the preferred choice of visiting rock stars and celebrities...the hotel even smells luxurious -it has a custom made “signature scent” inspired by Chanel." Full review

Time Out tip: Head to the Hennessy rooftop bar (named for the original architect of the 1930s heritage listed building, not the cognac beloved by hip-hop stars) and try a Honey Trap Cocktail – it's made with honey collected from the hotel's own rooftop hives of Ligurian bees.
Top choice
 "It's a fabulous fit-out, with myriad bars, eateries and smiling, good-looking staff all over the place." Full review
