Sydney boutique hotel are ‘cast’ not

location reigns supreme. It is located
next door to Sydney’s State Theatre
which first opened in 1929 and has
hosted music legends such as Prince,
Shirley Bassey, Harry Connick Jr and
Chris Isaak. The QT itself attracts
creative guests who appreciate its
Gothic- and Art Deco-influenced
architecture. You may spot a star

Lounge, which is popular for after-
parties among the trendy set.
