Adina Apartment Hotel Sydney Town Hall has emerged from its transformation after a multi-million-dollar refurbishment.

There are a few things I always judge a hotel by. First, does it smell divine or does it reek of industrial-strength disinfectant? Second, does it have marble? And third, will I leave this place feeling like a better version of myself, or at least a more pampered one?

I’m pleased to report that Adina Town Hall Sydney ticks all these boxes and then some.

Let’s start with the scent, because I firmly believe the power of a good fragrance is underrated. Adina Town Hall has absolutely nailed its hotel fragrance game with Appelles Apothecary and Lab’s Comfrey and Body Wash, which smells like something a Greek goddess would use, if Greek goddesses frequented chic, modern apartment hotels.
