Oxford House is Paddington’s first lifestyle hotel, offering guests stylish accommodation, a hotel pool with DJ sets and a bar, and plenty of extras you’ve come to expect from a top-notch hotel — all in the centre of one of Sydney’s top dining and entertainment hubs. While the pool is exclusively for hotel guests, both the bar and the hotel’s sleek, street-level restaurant are open for Paddington locals to come and enjoy oysters and a cocktail. The interior of Oxford House — or OH! as it’s being branded — has been designed around ample natural light while complimenting the crisp, stylish aesthetic of Paddington with warm natural hues and rich textures.
We love the architectural history and artistic tradition that is so abundant in Paddington, and it made sense to fill the hotel with as much local art, food, music and fashion as we could. The design team have executed the perfectly the core values of our business within a highly constrained site.
