Accommodation in Australia: The Grace
Our Rating: First Class
The Grace
Sydney, Southeast Australia
An excellent example of 1920s art deco architecture, The Grace has a somewhat chequered history; originally the flagship store for the Grace Brothers store impresarios, commandeered by the Australian Government in 1942 for the use of General Macarthur during the Second World War, and its latest incarnation as an elegant heritage hotel.
Meticulously restored, the hotel fronts three of Sydney’s most prestigious streets - York, King and Clarence - and is just a short walk from the attractions of the city.
Original light fittings, high pressed-metal ceilings, marble floors, wide hallways and elegant decorative ironwork complement the stylish guestrooms.
