Where stories unfold freely, and luxury finds new meaning.
Our Hotel
Nestled within the 169-year-old sandstone façade that once housed Sydney’s Fairfax newspaper empire and the Bank of New South Wales, Paradox Sydney honours its storied past while stepping confidently into the future. Perfectly positioned in the heart of the CBD, the hotel is moments from Sydney’s best dining, shopping, and cultural attractions.
On 1 July 2025, the Radisson Blu Plaza Hotel Sydney proudly transitioned to the five-star Paradox Sydney, ushering in a new era for this iconic address. With the same ownership and management team, we continue our legacy of excellence while reimagining luxury for the modern traveller.
