Style runs deep in Paddington, the inner-eastern hub for Sydney’s fashion-forward denizens.

Infused with European chic, this neighbourhood has leafy promenades lined with designer fashion houses and one-of-a-kind boutiques. Check out bustling markets and chat with up-and-coming Aussie designers. Explore streets peppered with gorgeous old Victorian homes and corner pubs. Veer off the main road to take a breather in Paddington’s spacious parks and gardens or pull up a chair in one of the local cafés and bars.

Each member of the staff was very friendly and helpful. They took care of everything we needed plus. There was absolutely nothing I could find wrong. I strongly recommend upgrading to an upper floor. It included many extras you don’t get from a regular room. Worth the extra for upgrade.
