History
Description
the building that was previously located at 161 Sussex Street was demolished and made way for the
Hyatt Regency Sydney/Four Point development. All that remains is a heritage marker on the driveway in the hotel forecourt.
The site forms part of the Hyatt Regency Sydney/Four Points by Sheraton Hotel development. Redeveloped in 2016 by
COX Architecture, the heritage-listed site was conserved and a nearby adjacent 26-storey tower was constructed that added 222 new guest rooms, convention centre, and commercial office space. The additions were completed in the Millennium Minimalist Modernism style.
