Cinematic warehouse workshop
A copper-crowned former film warehouse where local creatives gather over espresso in the morning and cult cinema cocktails at night.
“Each room has its own unique design, French linen sheets and minibar of locally sourced wines, beers and treats”
What it’s good at
Remarkable
Breathe Architecture wrapped the heritage brick warehouse in chevron copper screening, raw concrete ceilings, and warm tactile timbers.
Remarkable
A subterranean cinema and cocktail lounge, streetfront coffee roastery, natural wine bar, and a buzzing rooftop bakery.
Notable
Set in Surry Hills's creative quarter, putting guests alongside local designers, studios, and Commonwealth Street's independent cultural pulse.
What they say
Also in The 50 Discovery, Softer Volumes, Wallpaper* and AFAR.
Inside the three-storey 1930s brick corner warehouse, rooms come with quirky names like Nook, Sunny, Everyday and the Mack Daddy Suite.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Set along Commonwealth Street in Surry Hills, the hotel is surrounded by independent design studios, wine bars, and neighborhood cafes.
The rooms
Bare brick and concrete ceilings meet French linen bedding, with handcrafted Japanese timber soaking tubs in select lofts and suites.
The rooftop gym and studio
Light wood floors and open-air rowing machines share the rooftop pavilion with reformer Pilates and functional movement classes.
Restaurant
Paramount Coffee Project
Specialty batches roast beside the foyer, where communal timber tables fill with filter coffees and seasonal breakfast plates.
These lead into the guestrooms, where an industrial palette of concrete ceilings and bare brick walls are softened with colourful wool rugs...
At the table
Up on the roof, A.P House serves freshly baked sourdough loaves and pastries under blue parasols overlooking the skyline.
How it began
Built within the 1940s Australian headquarters of Paramount Pictures, the property retains its heritage brick facade and subterranean screening vaults.
“The Paramount House Hotel has just six rooms, giving it an intimate feel. The space is also home to a cinema, coffee shop, and bakery.”
