The newest addition to Sydney’s fashionable accommodation options is QT Sydney (49 Market Street, Sydney, Australia, www.qtsydney.com.au)—and it’s a member of the Design Hotels group, so you can rest assured that it’s stylish. Australian architecture firm Nic Graham + Associates has transformed the old State Theatre and Gowling Building, built in 1929, into a quirky space housing 200 rooms with 12 room types decorated by Shelly Indyk with black, white and hot chromed accents augmented by art pieces from emerging local artists. There are two food outlets and one spa, and the location on the corner of George and Market Streets is close to all the bustling inner-city districts of Sydney, including The Rocks, Darling Harbour and the QVB shopping center. Rates are from US$420 (B12,900).
