What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler, The 50 Discovery, Wallpaper* and AFAR.
The Eve Hotel lands in the middle of Redfern and Surry Hills, ... and feels right at home among the cafés, bars, and late-night energy of Wunderlich Lane.
“its architecture shaped to reflect the locale, all honey-coloured brickwork, softly curving balustrades and a central courtyard that’s lush with greenery.”
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Anchoring Wunderlich Lane between Redfern and Surry Hills, the hotel puts Crown Street boutiques and independent neighbourhood dining within easy walking distance.
The rooms
Rooms feature bush-toned eucalyptus and ochre palettes, velvet banquette seating, and private balconies overlooking leafy courtyards or surrounding rooftops.
The rooftop pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Orange cabanas and fringed parasols surround the heated 20-metre rooftop pool, lined with green Sukabumi tiles.
The baths
Cedar soaking tubs sit beside tiled bench seating, with partner bodywork available from Ikkari and The Parlour Room.
Restaurant
Bar Julius
This ground-floor European bistro sits beneath vaulted ceilings with Louise Olsen artwork, pouring morning espresso and evening cocktails.
With details like on-trend chubby nightstands, decked out in terrazzo, velvets, and timber in earthy tones of eucalyptus greens and browns, each room feels modern and fresh.
At the table
Rooftop restaurant Lottie serves Mexican fare and mezcal cocktails, steps from the independent dining across Wunderlich Lane.
How it began
Built across the site of a former 1970s shopping mall, the low-rise property echoes the area's nineteenth-century pleasure gardens.
“The 102 rooms and suites are dressed in the hues of the Aussie bush, from the shower stalls and bathrobes to the headboards and banquettes.”
