A former YWCA, the Jasper has undergone a radical face-lift, redesigned and polished to a shine. Some rooms face onto a stylish courtyard, while others have views over the Queen Victoria Market or the city center. Several rooms are optimized for disabled access. The ambience is angled toward soft lighting and a calming atmosphere, but it's close to transport and the city center. There's also an on-site kitchen and bar, perfect for early breakfasts and people-watching.
This National Trust–listed 1884 lodging house is one of the most interesting and comfortable apartment hotels in the city. The modern, comfortable, self-contained accommodations have washing machines, dryers, microwaves, and dishwashers. There are studios and one- and two-bedroom apartments, and all face a courtyard containing a 60-foot pool and a century-old palm tree. It's just steps from Parliament House and the Princess Theatre, and half a block from Chinatown's restaurants. Reception for the apartments is around the corner at Quest on Lonsdale, 43 Lonsdale Street.
