THE COLLECTIONIST HOTEL SYDNEY Described as Sydney’s first “choose your own adventure” hotel, The Collectionist Hotel Sydney has flipped the traditional room selection model on its head. The Camperdown district property has just 39 individually designed suites; however, instead of simply allocating rooms to guests in advance, the hotel invites guests to take a look at their available rooms upon arrival and pick the one that best suits their preferences. collectionisthotel.com.au
FOUR POINTS BY SHERATON SYDNEY, CENTRAL PARK Situated in Sydney’s bustling Chippendale district and just a few minutes away from Darling Harbour, Broadway and Chinatown, the new Four Points by Sheraton Sydney, Central Park is part of the city’s Central Park mixed-use development. The hotel focuses primarily on rooms as opposed to suites, with just two of its 297 units being in the latter category. Guests also have access to an alfresco bar, an outdoor terrace and a 24-hour fitness centre. marriott.com
