The Revival of Heritage Hotels: A Cautionary Tale for Preservationists As I stepped into the majestic sandstone building that houses the Paradox Hotel Sydney, I felt a sense of nostalgia wash over me.
This former home of Fairfax Media is now an exemplary model of heritage hotel restoration, but beneath its gleaming facade lies a more complex story about preservation and progress.
The hotel's beaux arts style architecture, completed in 1930, has been restored to its former glory by the Vancouver based Paradox Group. The group deserves credit for preserving this piece of Sydney's history.
