What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The style, sensibly, looks just a little bit backwards, to the days when jet travel was novel, exciting, and even glamorous…
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set in Mascot, the property sits a fifteen-minute walk from Sydney Airport's domestic terminals, with direct access to Botany Bay.
The rooms
Bedrooms feature retro prints and rain showers, while top-tier rooms add freestanding soaking tubs positioned for runway watching.
The gym
Stationary bikes and weight benches sit against wood-paneled walls in the fitness room, open around the clock.
Penthouse Bar and Lounge
The top-floor bar pours Australian wines and cocktails against floor-to-ceiling windows looking directly onto the runway.
At the table
A twenty-four-hour pantry on the top floor supplies ready meals and cold drinks beside retro lounge seating.
How it began

Originally opened as the Felix Hotel, the building channels the golden age of aviation with an inverted penthouse reception.

The eight vibes

Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.

Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.

A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene

Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
