Hotel in CBD, Sydney, New South Wales, New South Wales
COMO The Treasury Sydney
Check rates & availability on Booking.comSet in the beautifully restored GPO Building, COMO The Treasury offers 201 rooms and suites in Sydney's most historic postal building. The property retains the grand Victorian architecture while delivering contemporary luxury. COMO's renowned wellness philosophy is expressed through the spa, pool and restaurant program.
COMO The Treasury Sydney opened in 2015 inside the landmark General Post Office building at 44 Martin Place, one of the most recognisable Victorian sandstone structures at the geographic heart of the Sydney CBD in New South Wales. The GPO, constructed between 1866 and 1891, served as Sydney's main postal hub for over a century; the hotel's conversion preserved the grand clock tower, ornate sandstone facades, arcaded colonnades, and interior courtyards while integrating 201 rooms and suites of contemporary luxury within the historic shell. Martin Place's position as Sydney's civic and financial centre means the hotel is within walking distance of the major banking and law precincts, the QVB, and the Royal Botanic Garden approach.
Room categories range from COMO Rooms to Garden Suites and Penthouse Suites, with the COMO design philosophy expressed in calm, material-driven aesthetics that foreground natural textures — stone, linen, warm timber — over decorative excess. Bathrooms are generously proportioned with deep soaking tubs and rain showers. Upper suite categories feature private terraces overlooking the Martin Place precinct or the hotel's rooftop garden, while the Penthouse offers commanding views over the Sydney CBD skyline.
The COMO Shambhala spa is central to the hotel's identity, offering a menu of integrative therapies that draw on both Eastern and Western wellness traditions, including massage, hydrotherapy, and personalised programmes combining movement, nutrition, and restorative treatments. A rooftop pool set above the historic roofline provides a calm outdoor swim experience with CBD views during the warmer months, and a well-equipped fitness centre is available year-round.
Dining at COMO The Treasury Sydney reflects the group's signature food philosophy of clean, flavour-driven cooking using quality New South Wales produce. The main restaurant and bar showcase ingredients from the Hunter Valley, Southern Highlands, and South Coast. The breakfast offering is widely regarded as one of the better hotel breakfasts in central Sydney.
COMO The Treasury Sydney suits health-conscious travellers, design-focused couples, and corporate guests who prioritise both premium wellness facilities and a prime central Sydney address in New South Wales.
