"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 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
i
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
