From silver screen to Sydney skyline, Oxford Street's historic West Olympia Theatre has been reimagined as 25hours Hotel The Olympia, earning a place among the world’s Top 100 new and renovated hotels for 2026.
Intermain is proud to have partnered with Richard Crookes Constructions (RCC) to deliver the bespoke joinery that helps bring this transformation to life, from reception and lobby through to dining and event spaces, cinema, amenities, staff BOH and up to the rooftop bar.
The interior honours the building’s art-house legacy, layering cinematic references and a rebellious creative spirit into every detail.
A landmark project reimagining a cultural icon for a new era of hospitality.
