Initially built in 1856 as the home of John Fairfax & Sons, it has since served as the Bank of New South Wales and then Westpac Bank before transitioning into a hospitality venue as the five-star Radisson Blu Plaza Hotel in 2000. It is now entering a new era as the Paradox Sydney.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Paradox is about creating places with soul \u2014 hotels that are deeply connected to the people, culture and pulse of the city,” said TA Global CEO Tiah Joo Kim, the visionary behind the Paradox brand. A graduate of Sydney’s Macquarie University, Tiah brings a personal connection to the city, making Sydney a fitting milestone for Paradox’s global growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTo debut in Australia at such a historic and meaningful heritage address is a major milestone for us. We look forward to bringing our signature blend of culture, creativity, and authentic hospitality to this vibrant city.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The group has appointed Peter Tudehope, General Manager of Paradox Sydney.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Following an AUD13.5 million refurbishment in 2015, Paradox Sydney features 364 rooms and suites, meeting and conference facilities, a wellness centre, a restaurant and a bar, all housed in the building\u2019s stately sandstone fa\u00e7ade and contemporary interiors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the coming months, the property will undergo a gradual refresh to embody the Paradox brand and meet modern guest expectations. The hotel will remain fully operational throughout the transition, ensuring a seamless and uninterrupted experience for all guests.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
