Last weekend I stayed at The Establishment Hotel, Sydney, courtesy of the boutique and luxury hotel specialists Mr & Mrs Smith. This elegant hotel is housed within the same building as The Establishment bar, the three hatted est. restaurant, Hemmesphere cocktail lounge and sushi restaurant Sushi e. With this array of evening activity, coupled with the oversized room and tempting marble and limestone bathroom, it’s no surprise we didn’t venture far after checking in.

The hotel interior is chic, with an incense-infused lobby offering a choice of two room colour schemes: black floorboards and strong colour, or a softer, more tranquil style. We opted for the latter; and it worked its magic. Emerging chilled and refreshed, we stopped in for a refreshing gin cocktail at Hemmesphere before savouring some of Sydney’s best sashimi at Sushi e restaurant. The walk through the humming Establishment bar back to our room reminded us that this is also a hotel for night-life lovers.

The Establishment Hotel, Sydney is for the discerning visitor to Sydney who’s looking for the best in accommodation, nightlife and food to complete the journey.

Designed by Starck protégé Christophe Pillet, the stunning Hotel Sezz in the 16th arrondissement of Paris is modern luxury decked out in classic attire. The interior is bright and airy, with hints of 21st Century futurism scattered amongst the more ornate finishings. The rooms are spacious and wickedly tempting, the overszied spa bath distracting mercilessly from the beautiful surrounds of the neighborhood, which happens to include a certain ubiquitous structure that’s just a hop, skip, and short dash away. This boutique hotel is boudoir chic, elegant and welcoming. Much like the rest of Paris, in fact. [photos by Alison Zavos]
