( 9240 3100; www.merivale.com.au ; 5 Bridge Lane; r from $299; ; Wynyard) Hidden down a
nondescript lane, this so-hip-it-hurts boutique hotel attracts discreet celebrities, style-con-
scious couples and cashed-up execs dreaming of a nooner with their assistants. What the
hotel lacks in facilities it more than makes up for in glamour. And by staying here you'll
have VIP access into all the 'it' bars of the Merivale empire.

sight behind a hole-in-the-wall cafe in the centre of town, this boutique hotel has irre-
pressibly perky staff (maybe its something to do with all that caffeine), who alternate
between frothing milk and welcoming guests. The rooms are comfortable and chic;
choose between quieter standard rooms with frosted-glass windows or deluxe rooms with
proper windows opening on to the noisy-by-day street.

be Clark Kents will feel right at home in this wedge-shaped sandstone building, built for
the hardened hacks of the Sydney Morning Herald in the 1920s. The rooms are spacious,
if a little generic, with marble bathrooms and all the typical big-hotel comforts. Plus
there's a health club and spa, with an indoor lap pool and small gym.
