The Old Clare Hotel Chippendale

The Old Clare Hotel is one of Sydney’s most highly acclaimed and design-celebrated boutique hotels, a 5-star property in Chippendale comprising two heritage-listed buildings — the magnificent 1927 Carlton United Brewery head office and the adjacent Clare Hotel pub — connected by a dramatic glazed internal passageway. The hotel offers 62 individually designed rooms across several categories including family-suitable configurations, all featuring the original heritage building character with exposed brickwork, soaring ceilings, and period windows alongside free high-speed Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, premium bedding, minibars, and private bathrooms. A rooftop swimming pool and the rooftop bar with panoramic views over Chippendale and the CBD provide outstanding leisure amenities. The ground-floor restaurant Automata, helmed by acclaimed chef Clayton Wells and serving Japanese-Australian cuisine, and the heritage Clare Hotel bar are both exceptional dining and drinking destinations. Chippendale’s position between Central Station and Broadway provides excellent transit connectivity: Central Station is a ten-minute walk, connecting families to Circular Quay, Bondi Beach, and Sydney Airport. The University of Sydney campus, Prince Alfred Park, and the Art Gallery of New South Wales are accessible within fifteen to twenty minutes. The Old Clare Hotel is consistently named among Australia’s finest boutique hotel experiences for its extraordinary architectural heritage and acclaimed dining.
