A darling of the Ode anthology, The Old Clare Hotel is a classic you’ll never want to put down. She knows the area like the back of her hand, turning neighbours into friends and tourists into locals. Here, community and creativity run deep, and true to Clare’s humble beginnings, her down to earth nature is disarmingly friendly. Stretching across two iconic heritage-listed buildings, The Old Clare Hotel is wise beyond her years, curated with the curious in mind.

Set in Chippendale, the land of galleries, design studios, cafés and restaurants. This is a place destined to keep the wanderlust alive.

Eat & Drink

Were dining at The Old Clare Hotel to have a title, it would read, “Fresh, Fancy, never Fussy.”

Inspired by the dynamic Australian coastline, hatted restaurant Longshore’s menu is always on the move—fresh, seasonal, and never predictable.

Thirsty? Pull up a stool at Clare Bar, a refreshing take on your traditional watering hole, embracing the same ethos that made its prior incarnation so beloved.

Ever feel like teleporting yourself from walking down a busy street to dipping your feet in a pool with a cocktail in hand? Well our Rooftop pool and bar is about as close as you can get to that. Enjoy a selection of bar bites and thirst quenching beverages.
