The Fullerton Hotel Sydney.

Occupying the grand 19th-century General Post Office building, The Fullerton Hotel Sydney is a masterclass in blending Victorian sandstone heritage with modern high-rise luxury. Guests choose between high-ceilinged rooms in the original post office wing or contemporary quarters in the sleek glass tower, all of which feature Harman Kardon speakers and an extensive pillow menu. The property centers around a stunning six-story atrium that overlooks the former GPO courtyard, now home to The Place restaurant. Here, the menu bridges the hotel’s Australian and Singaporean roots, serving seafood laksa alongside Modern Australian short rib. For those interested in the building’s clock tower and telegraph history, the hotel runs complimentary heritage tours, while the bar serves a Sydney Sling—a local riff on the gin classic—to toast the GPO’s 150-year legacy.
