Surrounded by art galleries and design studios, buzzy bars, cool cafes and excellent local eateries in Sydney’s vibrant inner-city suburb of Chippendale,
the Old Clare Hotel is a boutique hotel brimming with character.
Community spirit and creativity are woven into the walls of the Old Clare Hotel that blends heritage charms and contemporary comforts; a personality-packed Sydney boutique hotel.
The Old Clare Hotel’s guest rooms (from cosy to loft-style) and spacious suites (including a one-bedroom apartment with eight-seater dining table) are housed in a pair of reimagined heritage buildings that formerly served as a lively pub and the administration hub for Carlton United Breweries. Heritage-industrial or new deco in style, all feature vintage designer pieces and cheerfully bright pops of colour.


The Old Clare Hotel’s accommodation is complemented by a rooftop pool and bar nestled among the surrounding skyline, a compact ‘any-time’ Technogym, a casual café-style eatery and a highly-awarded restaurant.
Rub shoulders with the locals at the Old Clare Hotel’s rooftop bar and in the lively restaurants that line Kensington Street and Spice Alley (both only moments from the front door) and explore some of Sydney’s celebrated local galleries (the White Rabbit Gallery is a perennial favourite).

many many many thanks!!!!!!"

Planning a 7 week trip is daunting enough without the complications of COVID cancellations, rebookings, and closures. Yet every connection, every transportation detail, every accommodation, every meal, everything was flawless.
We can't thank Southern Crossings enough for making this trip all, and more, than we had imagined. You allowed us to see the best of your countries: the people, the beauty, the culture. Five stars, a blue ribbon, and a gold medal to everyone at Southern Crossings!"
