The East Village Hotel underwent a dynamic three-level refurbishment to revitalise a heritage-listed hotel in East Sydney.
Each floor houses a distinct venue experience - the edgy Front Bar with pale renders and blue leathers, the Sports Bar on level 2 evoking a traditional sports club vibe with deep woods and curated memorabilia, and the Rooftop, a serene garden sanctuary with pastel hues and neon accents.
Tailored to its urban context, the Front Bar boasts terrazzo banquettes and a leather bar front, echoing street theatre with neon 'halo' lighting. The Sports Bar offers a nostalgic, night venue ambiance, while the Rooftop, with its retractable roof, celebrates sunset and city views amid lush planting and terrazzo flooring.
