"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
