Located on Commonwealth Street, Paramount House Hotel is a new design-led hotel is set to open in 2018. It is the first accommodation offering by Russell Beard, Ping Jin Ng and Mark Dundon, the team collectively behind Reuben Hills, Paramount Coffee Project, Seven Seeds and Bondi Hall.

Paramount House Hotel is promising to think beyond the tourist market to deliver a layered, local experience. Designed by celebrated Melbourne architects Breathe, the hotel straddles two newly connected buildings, with the hotel’s entrance and lobby inside Paramount House (originally built to be the Australian headquarters of Paramount Picture Studios).

The hotel will include a new dining concept from the team behind acclaimed restaurant Ester; which will join existing building residents, the award-winning café Paramount Coffee Project – which will act as a relaxed extension to the hotel lobby – and the art house Golden Age Cinema & Bar downstairs, as well as the popular design-led co-working hub, The Office Space. 

The 29 new bedrooms, designed for comfort with multiple personalities, feature a mix of heritage details alongside contemporary updates in a subtle palette of concrete, terrazzo and timber. 

With a growing choice of restaurants, small bars and coffee culture, Surry Hills is also home to a cluster of small businesses, design studios, art galleries and architect firms.
