This Sydney stay<\/em><\/strong> brings the spirit of Downtown Los Angeles to slick Surry Hills, with an acclaimed rooftop restaurant, happening lobby watering-hole and inclusive artist-in-residence program.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am not cool enough for Ace Hotel Sydney<\/a>, I know that much. I was never picked first on a team in PE, never wore a trend before it graced a magazine, and never discovered an artist months ahead of them being played on the radio. That doesn\u2019t matter upon checking in though, because, as I\u2019m later told, \u2018This is a hotel for everyone\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s the neighbourhood like?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Ace Hotel Sydney is the inaugural Ace outpost in the Southern Hemisphere. Opened in May 2022, the hotel occupies the bones of Australia\u2019s first-ever kiln, later the Tyne Building, on Surry Hills\u2019 Wentworth Avenue. This heritage is nodded to throughout the new build, from the original brick archways downstairs to the laneway caf\u00e9, Good Chemistry. Melbourne-based interior designer David Flack led the new fit out, tasked with blending the site\u2019s history with Ace\u2019s brand as the original \u2018hipster hotel\u2019. The result is a bit grunge and a bit retro, akin to stepping into a New York warehouse apartment: a sunken lounge in the lobby, quirky light fittings, rich textiles, and a palette of earthy oranges and yellows, greens and browns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
