In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Viaduct Harbour sits just outside, and the waterfront promenade leads past moored yachts to bustling seafood restaurants.
The rooms
Deluxe rooms have tangerine loungers and geometric rugs. Suites add standalone soaking tubs and vinyl record players.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The outdoor swimming pool sits in the private parkland of The Parc complex, with views toward the Sky Tower.
Gym and sauna
A shared fitness room and dry sauna sit within the complex. Guests can also borrow bicycles for the waterfront.
At the table
The ground-floor Pantry serves specialty barista coffee and reinterpreted French toast, followed by evening drinks at the bar.
How it began
Owner Adam Cunningham spent years hunting down authentic mid-century pieces and local art before opening the doors in 2021.
