In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Set in vibrant Haymarket, the hotel sits steps from the Capitol Theatre, World Square, and late-night dumpling spots in Chinatown.
The rooms
Calacatta marble, brass detailing, and fluted glass bring Italian modernist flair to compact, light-filled spaces upstairs.
Restaurant
Bar Morris
Plates of fresh panfocaccia and handmade pasta accompany low-intervention Italian wines across intimate, scarlet-topped tables.
At the table
Fresh fruit and artisanal bread rest on the sculpted marble counter alongside selections of regional wine.
How it began

Built in 1929 by Virgil Dante Cizzio, the Inter-War Palazzo building stood as Australia's tallest hotel for over three decades.
