From post to plush in central Sydney

Medina Executive Sydney Central has been transformed.
It was formerly the site of a post office and before that a lunatic asylum.

Refurbished for $A30 million ($37 million), it has 98 modern self-contained studios and one and two-bedroom apartments, plus New York-style one-bedroom lofts on the top floor.

Sydney Central's opening rates are from $A149 ($180) a night for a studio, $A179 for a one-bedroom apartment, $A199 for a loft and $A249 for a two-bedroom apartment.
