“This boutique hotel is a restful base in lively Paddington, close to both the Sydney Cricket Ground and Bondi Beach; its heritage design offers a serene counterpoint to the city's energy. The neighborhood's unique shops and restaurants add to the appeal, and easy access to public transport means exploring Sydney is straightforward.
