The Art of Hosting
Brass Room Studio is where hospitality meets creativity. Here we share the ideas, insights, and strategies that shape the future of short-term rentals — from the details that make a guest feel at home to the big-picture thinking behind building a thriving STR business. This is our space for thought leadership, best practices, and stories from the field. Whether you’re a property partner, an investor, or an aspiring host, you’ll find inspiration on how to approach hosting not just as a business, but as an art.
Explore Like a Local, Stay Like a Regular
Your stay doesn’t end at the door. Each Brass Room is set in a neighbourhood with its own rhythm — from Petersham’s creative laneways to Darlinghurst’s buzzing nightlife and the Gold Coast’s coastal energy.
We’ve curated our favourite eats, drinks, shops, and things to do so you can skip the guesswork and dive straight into the best of each area. Think of it as your insider’s guide — stylish, playful, and just a little unexpected.
