Review
Style setter Terry Kaljo – founder of the Medusa and The Kirketon Hotel, two of the city’s first boutique stays – has branched out into private apartment rentals with her Contemporary Hotels group, so travelers can get an authentic sense of Sydney living in some of the city’s most desirable neighborhoods. Choose from seven fully self-contained private pads (including one knockout Darlinghurst penthouse), each a spacious sanctuary featuring designer kitchens, plasma TVs, wireless technology and high-tech security systems, not to mention dazzling harbor and city views. Each apartment is fully serviced every three days.
Who Should Stay
Couples and families wanting the glamour of a high-end Sydney hotel with the independence of a private home.
