Hotel Palisade

For over 100 years Hotel Palisade has occupied pride of place at Millers Point on the shores of Sydney harbor and just a stones throw from The Rocks. Steeped in history if the walls could talk there would be stories about the young Anzacs drinking their last beers before boarding the ships to Gallipoli at the foot of the hill. We are custodians, there were people here before us and there will be people here after us. This is our interpretation and we have now been re-open for 6years. Walk into the original character of the building in the ground floor bar, which pays homage to days gone by with the hustle and bustle of the early harbor port days of the Rocks. Take an elevator past two levels of boutique hotel rooms, to find yourself in our cocktail lounge, Henry Deane, which is on the top of what once was the tallest building in Sydney. Henry Deane, the crown jewel of Hotel Palisade, reveals the building's modern and sophisticated charm. Spread across two floors, the contemporary and edgy cocktail lounge provides breathtaking Sydney scenes no matter which way you look. Here you will find a menu curated and served by our Head Chef, Cian Mulholland, who takes his spin on Modern Australian share plates.

Designed by renowned Irish architect and engineer Henry Deane Walsh, the hotel as it stands today was constructed in 1915 and, given its location perched proudly on the hill, was the tallest building in Sydney at the time.

The Hotel was the last port-of-call (and probably last beer) for the ANZACs before heading off on boats to Gallipoli from the surrounding ports, and then housed the workers who built the Sydney Harbour Bridge between 1923 and 1932. It remained open as a favourite watering-hole for locals until 2008 when it closed its doors to the public for a while, but not forever…

In 2015, the building enjoyed a sweeping renovation, some parts were lovingly restored to their original glory, others were modernised and updated. The public house opened its doors for the first time in seven years in June 2015, in November 2015, rooftop cocktail lounge Henry Deane served its first martini. The hotel rooms were the last to be opened to the public in early 2016.

In the short space of time since opening, our hotel and collective venues combined have won a bevy of awards, and we are proud to have given new life to this handsome old pub.
