A Sydney landmark is reborn. The Bristol Hotel, formerly The Bristol Arms, is re-open, with a stunning transformation.
This historic venue has undergone a complete re-invention, calling itself “an old soul with a new vibe”, now offering five distinct yet connected spaces, each with its own, unique character.
Renowned designer Paul Papadopoulos has breathed new life into the old building, expertly blending its heritage with modern style. From the sleek Public Bar to the vibrant Calypso nightclub, every floor offers something different. From Sussex Street upward, The Bristol will house all sorts of separate offerings, with the
first three, The Public Bar, Sports Bar and The Rooftop opening this week! Here’s a breakdown of the revamp:
Public Bar & Sports Bar: Ground level. Open now.
Dining by a revered chef: Level two. Coming soon.
Calypso: Level 3 – Sydney’s new ‘night’ in shining armour – Opening Saturday, August 24th.
Midtown Bar & Lounge: Level 4 – A cocktail lounge with top-shelf drinks and service. Coming soon.
The Rooftop: a view of the Sydney CBD redefined – Opening 16th of August, with food available from the 23rd of August.
Look forward to Euro-inspired dishes with a view, like succulent chicken and halloumi souvlaki wraps and a comforting lamb pastitsio. Complement your meal with a drop from their extensive beverage list, featuring 20+ wines available by the glass. The rooftop’s dedicated menu will capture the essence of alfresco dining, offering a taste of the Mediterranean in the heart of Sydney.
With a history dating back to 1898, The Bristol Hotel has been a beloved Sydney institution for over a century. Keep an eye on their Instagram for updates in the coming weeks.
