What we love about this stay
Ask for a room facing Kensington Street — the brewery bones of the building feel most alive in those spaces, with raw concrete details and natural light that shifts beautifully through the afternoon. Don't waste a morning sleeping in without first pulling an espresso from the in-room machine and taking it poolside before anyone else is up; the rooftop catches early Sydney light in a way that makes the city feel like it belongs only to you. Skip the hotel for dinner and walk Kensington Street instead — it's one of Sydney's best eating laneways, and the proximity is half the reason to book here. Grab the complimentary bikes on a clear morning for a loop through the surrounding neighborhoods. The Old Clare rewards those who treat it as a launchpad, not a retreat.

Right from the start this place is just oozes coolness. The rooms are beautifully renovated as is the hotel. The renovated bar downstairs is amazing and it’s in a great part of Sydney that is really starting to rebuild. Has a cool laneway with other bars and restaurants adjacent to the hotel. Will definitely look to stay there again.
