Architects Tonkin Zulaikha Greer joined two heritage brewery structures in 2015, preserving decades of raw industrial history.
Wellness
A rooftop pool looks out across the Chippendale skyline, offering sunny lounge spots above the street energy.
Eat & drink
The iconic ground-floor pub bar preserves local history, while Kensington Street's dining precinct sits directly outside.
The neighborhood
Chippendale's art galleries, design studios, and Kensington Street's food stalls line the surrounding historic brick lanes.
“The result is roughly one part lovingly preserved historical patina and one part ultra-modern, ultra-tasteful luxury, an impressive achievement and one that puts the Old Clare at the top of a lot of design junkies’ must-try lists.”
“A cutting-edge conversion by architects Tonkin Zulaikha Greer, The Old Clare Hotel unites The Clare Hotel pub and Carlton & United Breweries administration building in a heritage-modern hybrid.”
“Located in a heritage-listed building near art galleries, design studios, restaurants and cafés”
