DK Eyewitness
"You couldn’t be closer to the action than at The Grace. The restored hotel dates from the 1930s and its refurbishment has retained the building’s original Art Deco style."
Time Out
"This charming hotel is housed in an 11-storey corner block – a loose copy of the Tribune Tower in Chicago – that began life in 1930 as the headquarters of department store giant Grace Brothers." Full review
Star Service
"Its location, albeit a long 20-minute walk to the Opera House, is fairly reflected in the relatively modest rates. The hotel adjoins an arcade in the bustling south side of the financial district." Full review
