Sydney Boutique Heritage Hotel with Rooftop Pool, Daily Breakfast & Nightly Drinks
The Old Clare Hotel logo

Stay in the heart of ‘Sydney’s Coolest Neighbourhood’ at this boutique gem in trendy Chippendale. The revamped hotel is set within two heritage-listed institutions, the former Carlton & United Breweries administration building and The County Clare Hotel, boasting just 69 bespoke rooms.

The hotel’s four distinct dining venues offer clever odes to its brewhouse past. Sip ice-cold beers downstairs at Clare Bar, fitted with mid-century chairs pulled from the hotelier’s own archives, and original broken tiles from its days as a raucous pub. Savour seafood fine dining next door at Longshore and retreat to the Rooftop pool bar for panoramic views of Sydney’s inner west.

As wedding photographers, we have worked at a large number of hotels dotted around Sydney - and The Old Clare is hands down our favourite spaces for couples to get ready at on the morning of their wedding. The aesthetics of this hotel are utterly divine and the staff are always helpful with the requests we have as a wedding vendor - which ultimately has a knock on affect to keeping things easy for the couple. Being located in one of the hippest suburbs in Sydney with everything on its doorstep is also an advantage. If you are a wedding couple looking for a place to get ready on your wedding day, definitely consider The Old Clare - it's pretty much got everything you could possible need before you get married.

Had a single night stay here, but could easily stay longer. Location, location, location is first - walk to the wonderful Spice Alley, a bit longer walk to Carriageworks Sat mkt, plus more. Design next - an old building repurposed with superb style, retaining original as much as possible. All required room facilities available, clean and spacious. Friendly helpful reception hosts, but bar hosts less so.

I enjoyed my stay at The Old Clare. My partner and I were there for four nights and stayed in the Connell Room. The room was nice and spacious, loved the tall ceilings and the bed was probably the most comfortable bed I’ve ever laid on. My only gripe for the room was it did smell a little musty, I attribute this to just the fact that the place is old, but it was very strong when coming back from being out for the day. Additionally I’m not the biggest fan of the toilet door just being glass and not having an actual closed door, it doesn’t really hide or muffle any bathroom sounds. The rooftop bar was fantastic and I really enjoyed the view. The breakfasts were quite good as well.
