The City of Sydney Council has approved plans for a 121-room hotel, to be based in Surry Hills. Designed by Fox Johnston Architects, the hotel is conceived as an urban travellers rest, located on the south-east fringe of the Sydney CBD.
Fox Johnston are tasked with being both the project architects and interior designers for the hotel, with their plan adapting a former warehouse that straddles Goulburn Lane, Brisbane Street and Commonwealth Street. The hotel will continue much of the practice’s work to revitalise the area, after previously devising a masterplan and design for the public areas and entry gallery of Paramount House, that includes the Golden Age Cinema and restaurant Poly (designed by Anthony Gil Architects).
