Oxford Street Hotel

Name Oxford Street Hotel
Client Boston Global and Central Element
Country Gadigal
Location Paddington, NSW
Year 2018 - Ongoing

Oxford Street Hotel is a new hotel on the site of the iconic Olympia Theatre, opened in 1911, at the beginning of Australia’s cinema boom. Our proposal retains the theatre’s heritage elements and presents a contemporary mixed-use building to lead Oxford Street into the 24-hour economy.

The courtyard garden is simultaneously a dynamic connecting piece, linking the restaurant to the cinema and a gathering space. It is an element that blurs the boundaries of programs and adds vibrancy to the Hotel.

The hotel contains a range of programs: a rooftop bar, restaurant, café, three state-of-the-art entertainment spaces, retail, a central courtyard garden, 109 hotel rooms and a health facility, adding diversity to one of Sydney’s lively urban arteries.

The proposal is sympathetic to the significant heritage fabric, taking cues from the existing material palette and unique corner position. A rooftop bar, set back from the heritage roofline is concealed from street view but offers a sweeping panorama of the Sydney skyline.
