Paradox Sydney Events
Paradox Sydney is set inside a heritage building in the city’s centre, within easy walking distance to The Rocks and famous local landmarks like the Sydney Opera House and Sydney Botanic Gardens. The 5-star luxury hotel includes 364 guest rooms and suites, nine event spaces (both modern and heritage in style), and three restaurants.
Throughout the hotel, you’ll spot many architectural details and highlights that date back to the building’s early history, including the Georgian-style arched windows and oval-shaped meeting spaces.
Paradox Sydney features a variety of function rooms to suit every style of event; from the modern and contemporary Marble Room, a pillarless space with stage and AV facilities, the slightly smaller Press Room also located on the conference floor, the light-filled Lady Fairfax room with heritage arched windows, and a pair of wood-panelled heritage boardrooms full of historic charm.

Venue Testimonials
Everyone was so helpful and made the wedding ceremony and reception easy. Special shout out to Thalia for her amazing communication and ease in answering any queries. The food was a highlight and was complimented by so many guests.
Leah D
The service was exceptional. We had our wedding ceremony there. The good vibes, friendly and supportive staff and the food were amazing. There was a good number of staff so I always had someone to talk to whenever I had an issue. We reserved both the Marble Room and the Lady Fairfax, both rooms were great, and they prepared both rooms well before the booked time.
Terry O
The wedding was amazing, and everything went very well. Everyone said it was very memorable. All the staff were very friendly and helpful, and the banquet manager did a very good job. Thanks again for all your help.
