Bold. Boutique. Anything but ordinary.


Welcome to Medusa Hotel. A reimagined 18-room boutique hideaway in the heart of Darlinghurst, where bold design meets intimate hospitality. Behind our heritage facade lies a celebration of colour, character, and curated comfort.

This isn’t just a place to stay - it’s an experience designed to awaken the senses and spark the imagination.
A hotel stay to remember. A little escape from the everyday. Where unapologetic style meets boutique charm, and every stay is a story worth telling.

Step inside. Pick your palette. Begin your chapter…

Chapter 1: Set the mood

  • For the romantics, the maximalists, and the lovers of drama.

    Step into a world of rich textures, vibrant wallpapers, and bold, colour-drenched interiors. The Grand Velvet draws from Victorian glamour and modern opulence, with marble details, moody florals, and sculptural bedheads. A decadent space designed for those who seek romance, indulgence, and a little theatre in their stay.

  • For the dreamers, the collectors, and the curiously inclined.

    A dreamy detour into nostalgia and make-believe. The Daydream invites guests into a world where imagination runs wild — a cinematic blend of whimsy, retro charm, and soft storybook colours. Drenched in blush pinks and minty greens, the room features fantastical wallpapers of butterflies, tigers, and hares (oh my!). It’s a playful escape into reverie — a space where daydreams linger long after check-out.

  • For the barefoot luxury seekers and the lovers of calm.

    Inspired by Mediterranean resorts and sun-soaked escapes, The Courtyard Cove is a serene retreat of travertine stone, curved walls, and natural textures with courtyard access. Soft earthy tones and organic materials invite you to slow down, breathe, and bask in quiet luxury. A calming sanctuary in the heart of the city.

Chapter 2: Find your perfect fit

Where bold design meets boutique charm.
Sleep in style. Wake up inspired.

Anything but ordinary.

  • With just 18 rooms, we swap the corporate for character. Expect charm, thoughtful details, and a stay where you’re never just a room number.

  • Each room is a mood, a moment, a mini escape. Designed with texture, tone, and a touch of drama, they’re made to stir something in you.

  • Darlinghurst isn’t just an address — it’s a vibe. Hidden bars, cult bakeries, and restaurants that become favourites after one visit. This is where locals actually hang out.

  • We’ll point you to late-night bites, tucked-away art galleries, and local gems you’ll want to name-drop when you’re home.

  • Romantic getaways, solo creative recharges, work trips with style — Medusa is a mood. This isn’t just a place to crash.

  • With interconnecting rooms, deep-soak baths, and kitchenettes, Medusa makes it easy to bring a little extra home-comfort along.

  • Velvet-drenched drama or sunlit serenity. Playful colour or calming minimalism. There’s a story here waiting for you.
