The DNA: Ace Hotel Sydney’s warm and provocative interiors not only hark back to pre-pandemic travel, but resonate well beyond the surface level. Designed with recurring nods to the neighbourhood’s cultural history and Australia on a larger scale, the hotel brings a renewed thoughtfulness to Ace’s expert melange of creature comforts. With a lobby bar and lounge, cafe and restaurant and a hefty programme of culture, music, arts and food assembled at the ready, Ace Hotel Sydney appropriately marks the brand’s first property in the Southern Hemisphere.
