We're honoured to be recognized by the MICHELIN Guide with One MICHELIN Key distinguishing us among Australian hotels that offer the world’s most exceptional experiences.
Hidden-in-plain-sight, Upstairs Lounge serves as a characterful setting for private gatherings, celebrations and corporate occasions, as well as select special events and creative partnerships.
Elevated yet relaxed in style, the room can return to its roots as a cocktail bar when the moment calls for it, with carefully crafted drinks, biodynamic wines and seasonal bites shaping the experience. It lends itself just as easily to birthday dinners and brand launches as it does to team get-togethers, soirées or collaborative events — the kind of place where a simple “Meet me Upstairs” is all the direction needed.
By day, Upstairs works equally well as a breakout space for conferences and meetings. Set apart from the main event areas, it offers a sense of privacy and ease for smaller sessions, workshops, networking moments or informal lounges — adaptable, atmospheric and quietly distinct.

We embrace sustainable design through reclaimed materials, natural elements, biophilic design, efficient water systems, eco-friendly furnishings, responsible waste management, green building standards, and so much more. This approach nurtures conscious spaces that calm your mind, uplift your spirit, and inspire environmental awareness.
Sustainable Food Practices
We prioritize local, seasonal, and nutrient-rich ingredients sourced from farmers, fishers, and artisans. Our commitment to sustainability involves nurturing our communities, supporting healthy soil, preventing deforestation, protecting biodiversity, and championing regenerative methods. To further honour the planet and our neighbours, we reduce waste through mindful sourcing, careful preparation, and innovative diversion techniques.
Local Love
We’re dedicated to supporting and uplifting our communities by choosing local suppliers and purveyors. This allows us to ensure authenticity and quality in all of our offerings while inviting you to truly live local.
Journey to Zero-waste
In partnership with Foodprint Group, we’re on a journey to divert at least 90% of waste from landfills and incineration across our properties. We implement "True Zero Waste" programs and advanced technologies to enhance our sustainability efforts and track progress throughout our operations. You can enjoy creatively repurposed garnishes, infusions, and dishes that reduce food waste across our restaurants, lounges, and bars. Through our Certified Sustainable Gatherings program, you can celebrate in a conscious way that eliminates single-use plastics and honours our 1 true host.
