When it opened in 1927, the enchanting Castlereagh Boutique Hotel was the city’s first high-rise reinforced concrete building – and Sydney’s tallest – with uninterrupted views to the Heads from the top floor.
Lovingly maintained and restored, it remains one of Australia’s finest examples of Art Deco design.
