"The historic, luxurious Grace Hotel is known for its beautiful Art Deco style, especially in the hotel's lobby." Full review
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
The Telegraph7.0
"The Grace is one of Sydney’s most prized possessions, exuding history and charm from its prized corner spot in an imposing Neo-Gothic structure in the heart of town." Full review
Lonely Planet "The sumptuous neo-Gothic exterior makes this 1920s building a Sydney landmark, and its stylish art-deco interior adds impact." Full review
Afar Magazine "The heritage-listed property now offers 382 rooms, including 10 individually designed spaces, which guests can customize down to the chairs and bath products. " Full review
