"The Old Clare weaves Dada-esque interiors through the bones of two heritage buildings, creating a haven of modern luxury." Full review
Lonely Planet "A sensitive brewery-office conversion is now a 62-room hotel in a primo Chippendale location." Full review

Rooms are open-plan with see-into showers (you can request a frosted one) and, in higher grades, great feature bathtubs.
Mr & Mrs Smith "The hotelier’s assurance can be seen in the daring integration of old (the former pub’s seedy band-room posters and the brewery’s urinals) and new: the world-class dining, buzzing bar." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "This is the first Australian hotel by stylish Singaporean hospitality player Unlisted Collection, and its two bold restaurants are a major draw." Full review
Time Out "Standard rooms are generously sized, with king beds, mid-century modern furniture and city views." Full review
Afar Magazine "The cornerstone of the future Kensington Street Precinct, at the heart of the funky Chippendale neighborhood, the Old Clare is the storied pub she used to be and so much more." Full review
Monocle "A thriving 69-room stopover with two attractive bars and two restaurants...the rooms are smart and include Triumph & Disaster amenities, bright prints from Sydney designer Eloise Rapp"
Lonely Planet "A 69-room hotel in a primo Chippendale location. Rooms are well back from noisy Broadway, high-ceilinged and easy on the eye, with artful bespoke details" Full review

"The QT's brand newest property across the road from the Queen Bee of Sydney beaches, Bondi." Full review
Lonely PlanetTop choice
"Colourful, chic and appropriately beachy, this newish apartment hotel is steps from the beach and offers a very appealing combination of facilities, location and attitude." Full review
Mr & Mrs Smith "QT Bondi is the famous beach’s only boutique hotel – with small-scale charm in spades." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "Bondi’s blend of barefoot living and coastal gentrification makes it one of Sydney’s most seductive neighbourhoods, appealing to fitness freaks and fashionistas at this hotel." Full review
Time Out "The hotel’s in an ultra-central location smack bang between North and South Bondi...QT offers a way to infiltrate the beachside ’burb while adding just enough comforts of a boutique hotel." Full review
Independent "A decadent beachside escape a short stroll from Bondi’s blue waters, the QT Hotel sits on the north end of the beach, flanked by the fab boutiques of lively Gould Street"
Michelin Guide "Australia’s QT hotels combine high-end comforts with ultra-stylish design and a big, brash personality, and nowhere is that more true than at QT Bondi Beach" Full review
