“Gastronomic pub hideaway”
Josh Niland's sustainable seafood butchery anchors this stay, paired with local Victorian neighborhood pub roots.
A restored 1890 Victorian corner pub retaining period exterior charm, pressed metal details, and original timber.
Tailored boutique rooms styled in rich olive hues, bespoke joinery, fluted glass, and custom wool carpets.
On a quiet Paddington corner of Victorian terraces, a short walk from Oxford Street boutiques.
Rooms
Eucalyptus greens and original marble fireplaces meet plush velvet beds, claw-foot bathtubs, and subtle touches like bespoke fish-bone ceramic mugs.
Backstory
Chef Josh Niland and Julie Niland restored the 1890 Victorian pub with Studio Aquilo, transforming a historic corner tavern into a dedicated dining haven.
