The EVE Hotel Sydney – Sydney, Where Design Meets Dreamscape
A biophilic, art-driven escape at the crossroads of Redfern and Surry Hills
A Landmark for the Wunderlich Lane Precinct
As the architectural centerpiece of Sydney’s new Wunderlich Lane, The EVE Hotel blends historical reverence with bold contemporary design. This 102-room boutique stay, crafted by SJB Architects, draws from the site’s origins as one of Sydney’s earliest pleasure gardens—its curved balustrades and climbing ivy a living nod to the past. Landscape architect Daniel Baffsky’s lush gardens weave native and exotic species into the building’s very fabric, softening its modern lines and merging architecture with nature.
Interiors Infused with Australian Soul
Interior architect George Livissianis channels the colors and textures of the Australian landscape—eucalyptus greens, red clay hues—into spaces that feel grounded yet elevated. Local artistry is woven throughout: custom lighting by Henry Wilson, pieces by Louise Olsen and Tarryn Gill, and bespoke glazed terracotta alongside natural stone. The lobby flows into a serene central courtyard, framing pockets of greenery that invite stillness in the midst of the city. Every guestroom opens to a private balcony, embracing Sydney’s light and air.
A Rooftop Made for Slow Afternoons
Above it all, the rooftop pool deck is a modern-day pleasure garden—20 meters of heated water flanked by palms and bespoke cabanas, with panoramic views of Sydney’s skyline. Here you’ll also find Lottie, a contemporary Mexican restaurant and mezcaleria by Liquid & Larder. Sandblasted travertine, Palladiana flooring, and raw concrete structure create a tactile, open-air dining experience where the food is as vibrant as the setting.
A Cultural Microcosm
Within the hotel, Bar Julius pairs vaulted ceilings and curated art with a menu that’s both global and approachable. Step outside, and the Wunderlich Lane precinct unfolds—a curated mix of boutique shops, wellness spaces, and eateries that capture the creative pulse of Redfern and Surry Hills.
DNA Hotels Verdict
The EVE Hotel Sydney is more than a boutique stay—it’s a living showcase of Sydney’s design talent, cultural energy, and love of green spaces. From its ivy-clad façade to its rooftop oasis, it offers an immersive experience that’s stylish, local, and entirely its own.
