The building that is now the Altamont was modeled on the first Government House which was built on the site of the present Governor Phillip Tower in 1789.
Renovated by award winning architect Furio Valich to provide luxury boutique style hotel accommodation the original Colonial Georgian mansion has been preserved where possible whilst giving the whole building a post modernist edge.
No boring hotel corridors here. Rooms open onto an undulating communal street featuring a curved concrete wall. Much of the furnishings were custom designed and the whole effect is one of restrained and comfortable elegance.
The present Loft Suite of the hotel was once the VIP Room for the Cauldron Nightclub and was accessed by a hidden stairway. This stairway was lowered from the ceiling into the club below to allow access to the secret VIP area and then retracted again ensuring the complete privacy of the many well known and some times notorious persons who frequented the club.
The hotel, like the nightclub before it is the discreet haunt of many well-known personalities and identities. Including celebrities Madonna and The Rolling Stones.
The name for the Hotel came about from the 1969 Rolling Stones concert at the Altamont Speedway. The Hotel and the nightclub had been frequented a few times by members of the Stones and the name stuck, and that is how the Hotel came to be known as The Altamont.
