[ Hotel Tour ] The Old Clare Hotel - Sydney

by - March 23, 2017


If you traveling to Sydney, you will easily find some places named "hotel" in the middle of the city which actually a bar with a few room for staying or even there are some "hotel" which just a bar without any space for accommodation (why do they named a bar after a hotel name at the first place?). I passed this Old Clare Hotel building so many times whenever I went back to apartment from Central station. First thing, came to my mind was It just another "bar" type building with "hotel" named and I was just like "Nahh, nothing so special about it". One day I found an article from NY Times about 52 Places to Go in 2016 and on Sydney section, they mentioned about this hotel which I just figured it out that it really a hotel to stay in with unique concept.



The Old Clare Hotel runs under Unlisted Collection company who known for its properties in Singapore. It has mission to give a new live into heritage building and yes no wonder all of the properties are old-heritage buildings. Unlisted Collection combined two heritage-listed building which are Clare Hotel pub and The Carlton & United Breweries Administration Building to become their first project in Sydney, Australia.

The company wants to keep some of the building with its original situation. It keeps some of the area as it was and changed some other side with modern touch. In each room, you will found some parts of the old building.
