Paramount Recreation Club Is THE Spot To Rejuvenate

A place to workout, hang out or a bit of both – a seriously chic one-stop shop in Surry Hills.

It’s in Sydney’s Surry Hills that you’ll find one of Australia’s most design-savvy communities, Paramount House. The building, which was originally the headquarters of Paramount Picture Studios, today plays host to a gaggle of eateries, office spaces, a hotel, a cinema, and a health club. A single space overflowing with talent in every creative field makes for one of the best places to spend a weekend energising your body and soul. The best part? You don’t even have to leave.

Stretch, Sweat & Socialise
Paramount Recreation Club sits perched on the rooftop of Paramount House and is a must-visit during your stay. A seriously stylish take on the traditional fitness hub, this Instagram-friendly (and dog-friendly!) approach to health integrates a fitness pavilion with treatment rooms and even a neighbouring kiosk. Small group classes are complimentary for hotel guests during their stay (yay!) and range from the sweaty likes of Strength Conditioning to the meditative Mellow Yoga.

In addition to their regular fitness program, the Rec Club hosts an evolving roster of events and workshops aimed to improve your physical, mental and social well-being.

Save the following dates in your calendar and keep an eye out for more on @paramountrecclub on Instagram.

Feast / Refuel
Part of Paramount House’s appeal lies in its endless feasting options. Post-class at Paramount Recreation Club you can visit its neighbouring kiosk, a space devoted to health-conscious fare. To the delight of pastry fanatics, it is currently host to a pop-up from All Purpose Bakery dubbed A.P House. From Thursday to Sunday tuck into the likes of cracked corn congee, a lazy omelette, or a population of pastries worth salivating over. That’s not all that is on your doorstep here – curb your caffeine cravings at the alluded Paramount Coffee Club, connoisseurs of a quality brew, grab a snack at wine bar Poly, or visit modern Asian hub Chin Chin.

Rest & Recover
Splurge on a stay at Paramount House Hotel downstairs, one of Sydney’s most celebrated new offerings. Choose between a collection of different room types, each as eclectically decorated as the next thanks to a mingling of heritage and modern pieces – think IN BED linens, Aesop toiletries, an army of indoor foliage, and a mini bar overflowing with deli goods. Not to mention room service like no other – you can sit in bed and enjoy delights from adjoining cafe Paramount Coffee Project and even wine bar Poly.
