57 Hotel
Surry Hills stay 57 Hotel is just a skip from Central Station, and is handy for sampling the neighborhood's many bars, restaurants, and shops. Launched in March 2015, it has a modern, nightclubby feel, especially in the sultry, sunken black lobby where a reception desk, black leather banquettes, and heart-pumping Nespresso machine rule. Interiors take their cue from New York's legendary Studio 54 and seventies styling, with 92 rooms offering a lighter, more contemporary look (amenities include rain showers, iPads, and Urban skincare treats). Express breakfast is included, but for lunch and dinner you'll need to forage in Sydney's urban jungle.
