Paramount House Hotel

To live like a local in Sydney’s Surry Hills, stay at this beautiful boutique hotel. Sitting in the 1940s warehouses of Paramount Picture Studios, the copper-clad hotel has 29 rooms and suites, all of which feature raw brick walls, terrazzo tiles, minibars stocked with local goodies, and linens and plants aplenty. Paramount Coffee Project and Golden Age Cinema keep the guests enterained and well-caffeinated downstairs, and up on the roof, there’s a health club and café.
