THE ASTOR, ALBURY, NSW

On the Victorian and New South Wales border, this is the perfect stop for anyone doing the interstate road trip.

The recently reinvigorated Astor Hotel Motel is a mid-century modern wonderland in the heart of the city, painted in pops of pink, teal and orange with large windows looking out to palm trees. Design team Techne Architecture + Interior Design helped transform the motel, which features a Palm Springsworthy bar, an all-weather beer garden and possibly the finest motel sign in all of Australia. astorhotelalbury.com.au
