Ace Hotel Sydney

After making waves in Kyoto, New York and Palm Springs, renowned boutique hotel family Ace has triumphantly crossed the equator to arrive in Australia. An oasis of designer-led cool on the edge of Sydney’s creative neighbourhood, Surry Hills.

Offbeat yet on-point, this is a destination in itself, with work from emerging artists hanging on every wall, craft cocktail bar The Lobby occupying the bottom floor and chef Mitch Orr’s acclaimed ‘Italian-ish’ eatery, Kiln Sydney, on the rooftop. Deftly shifting with the seasons, Kiln Sydney’s focus on high-quality, sustainable produce and boundary-pushing plates has earned it a coveted Chef’s Hat in the Australian Good Food Guide 2023.
