Rooms at 25hours Hotel The Olympia, which will mark the very first 25hours Hotel in Australia when it opens on 25th September, are now available to book.
True to the 25hours philosophy of embracing the cultural fabric of the cities they are in, the brand’s first Australian property is deeply rooted in Sydney’s creative past. Located on the heritage-listed site of the former West Olympia Theatre and the Grand Pacific Blue Room, the hotel pays tribute to these iconic establishments that once shaped the city’s art and social scene. Honouring its vibrant past through bold design and rich storytelling, 25hours Hotel The Olympia will breathe new life into a historic Sydney landmark.
Inspired by the quintessential protagonists of film, the hotel’s 109 guest rooms will be split into ‘Dreamers’ and ‘Renegades’. Located on levels two and four, the Dreamer rooms are light-filled, airy, with soft blue tones and curated lighting to evoke a sense of calm nodding to the character of the romantic idealist. In contrast, levels one and three house the Renegade rooms – moodier in tone with darker colour palettes, bold carpets and artwork that channels a rebellious, adventurous spirit.
The hotel design narrative draws deeply from the building’s cinematic past, with the lobby reimagined as a tribute to film culture and pieces peppered throughout the property that nod to the Theatre’s heyday. True to the brands motto “Every cool city needs a 25hours Hotel” the Sydney debut focuses on revitalising this historic site, with a strong design identity, restaurants and bars that will act as a neighbourhood hub.
The hotel will be home to four venues, each with a distinct identity; a restaurant (The Palomar), wine & cocktail bar (The Mulwray), coffee house (Jacob The Angel), and rooftop bar (Monica). Culinary Director Mitch Orr will oversee all venues. A proud Sydney-sider with deep roots in the city’s dining community, Orr brings an edge that resonates with Sydney’s unique culinary culture.
