Travel + Leisure

"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."

"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." Full review
Rough Guide
"Fashionable place in an excellent location, with beautiful staff, slick service and great restaurants (including Asian ones) and cafés on the doorstep. $149."
