"Kirketon was once Sydney's, nay, Australia's coolest hotel... The lobby still exudes a raffish air of coolness, and the moody lighting provides a perfectly discreet atmosphere for the occasional celebrity guest."

Upscale

"This boutique hotel is an oasis of style, glamour and comfort in the heart of the vibrant suburb of Darlinghurst."
Time Out
"Rooms today come with nice touches such as chocolates and Kevin Murphy toiletries, and the overall design is contemporary minimalist, with rich colours and slick bathrooms with showers."

"Two blocks north of the edgier, more sophisticated Medusa, on the southern boundary of Kings Cross, this property is more laid-back and better equipped than its sophisticated sibling Diamant Hotel."
