The newest gem in the Surry Hills has a
glamorous backstory: it is located within the
former headquarters of Paramount Picture
Studios. But, putting that aside, Paramount
House is a boutique hotel that wants its guests
to consider it a home away from home.
There are only 29 rooms here, but one
can choose lodgings sporting any one of four
specific styles: Nook, cosy corner rooms for
overnight stays; the airy Everyday; Sunny with
its plant-filled alcoves; and Loft, where the
sleeping areas are located on a mezzanine.
A good brew may be found at the
Paramount Coffee Project which serves up
a great cup of joe, as well as healthy and
delicious meals. There is also a recreation
centre where one can join fitness classes,
as well as the Golden Age Cinema and Bar
where one can sip cocktails while watching
classic films. paramounthousehotel.com
