After a two-year, multimillion-dollar redo, 95 rooms across 11 accommodation styles, for everyone from solo travellers to groups of seven, offer groovy designer interiors with an attention to detail that shines through in artworks, lampshades, cushions and even the carpet. At the lobby-side Capitol Kitchen and Bar, you can kick back with classic cocktails and snack on light, delicious bites such as truffle fries and charcuterie and cheese. Rates start from just $200 a night - a very nice price when you consider the hotel's proximity to key Sydney highlights, from Chinatown and Paddy's Market to the new IMAX theatre and Pitt Street mall. Jump on the light rail just outside the hotel and you'll be at Circular Quay in minutes. thecapitolhotelsydney.com
