A New Chapter in Heritage and Luxury

Nestled within the 169-year-old sandstone façade that once housed Sydney’s Fairfax newspaper empire and the esteemed Bank of New South Wales, Paradox Sydney honours its rich legacy while stepping confidently into the future. Centrally located in Sydney’s vibrant CBD, the hotel is just moments from the city’s most renowned attractions, dining and commercial hubs. 

On 1 July 2025, the Radisson Blu Plaza Hotel Sydney officially transitions to Paradox Sydney—ushering in a new era for this iconic address and the global Paradox brand.

 

Experience Sydney on your own terms

At Paradox Sydney, stays are anything but standard. Whether you’re closing deals near Wynyard or Martin Place Station, escaping for a romantic weekend by the harbour, or diving into the city’s creative pulse, your experience is curated with intention. Relax in rooms and suites that fuse heritage architecture with refined modernity. 

Recharge in wellness spaces, dine with distinction, or host at one of six elevated event venues, all thoughtfully designed to embody the vibrant essence of Sydney and the progressive spirit of the Paradox brand.

In the Heart of the city, immersed in its soul

Located at 27 O’Connell Street, Paradox Sydney sits at the intersection of legacy and lifestyle - just steps from the Opera House, Circular Quay, and Martin Place. But we’re more than proximity, we’re part of the city’s story. Within our heritage-listed walls, you’ll find local artwork, curated collaborations with neighbourhood artisans, and a deep-rooted connection to Sydney’s evolving cultural landscape. This isn’t just where you stay. It’s where you arrive into community, creativity, and a bold new perspective on the city.
