The Old Clare Hotel

The Old Clare Hotel Proudly part of
(892)

Stretching across two iconic heritage-listed buildings – The Clare Hotel pub and the Carlton & United Breweries Administration Building – the 69 room boutique hotel has been constructed with obsessive attention to aesthetics and concern for retaining the interesting features of both buildings. Situated along the re-developed Kensington Street precinct, The Old Clare Hotel is the first Australian hotel from the unconventional Unlisted Collection:. With its rich, varied history and architecture, Chippendale has become the home of choice for dozens of art galleries, production houses, graphic and fashion design studios, plus Sydney’s most exciting new restaurants, cafés and bars.

A little taste of somewhere else.

Up on The Old Clare Rooftop, our menu has taken a trip. Mediterranean coastlines, sun-warmed produce, food made for sharing slowly. Char-grilled octopus skewers. Chicken gyros with all the trimmings. Halloumi laced with dukkah and honey. Watermelon, mint and feta, cool against the evening air.

Best enjoyed with a spritz in hand, as the city settles into gold below you.

Sundays are for slowing down and eating well.

At Clare Bar, that means a proper roast. Chicken and all the trimmings, laid out for sharing. Pull up a chair, order a cold one, and fight over the last potato with the people who matter.

Every Sunday.

Some traditions are worth revisiting. Long before we arrived, these spaces knew how to throw a party. This season, we’re picking up where they left off... three hotels, one very good reason to gather. Book your festive event early. The good tables always go first.
