The 41 Best Hotel Openings of 2022

Ace Hotel Sydney

Ace Hotel Group’s busy 2022 started with the opening of the Ace Hotel Sydney, its first in Australia (the brand’s Toronto location joined the portfolio this summer). Located in the historic Tyne Building, the 257-room hotel evokes an authentic experience with a design that nods to the neighborhood’s cultural legacy as a major pottery producer. To that end, the building is awash in ceramics, a color palette of ochre and burnt orange, and paintings by Indigenous artists, all reflecting the laidback ambiance of the Australian suburbs in the 1970s.
