Lobo and The Island to Open Pop-Up Winter Chalet

Usually you'd have to fork out quite the cash bundle to enjoy some apres ski wonderment, but there's a brand new pop-up coming to Sydney that skips the ski lodge bill.

Making a little winter wonderland of the former space of Darlinghurst's Victoria Room, The Chalet is set to be Sydney's temporary little winter ski lodge. According to Good Food, the space will come decked out with an in-house snowmaking machine, fondue stations, a jaffle bar and even a chairlift above the entrance stairs (yeah, it's probably not exactly a working one but can you imagine if it carried you upstairs?). Now, that's theming.

So who's behind this adorable wintry endeavour? Some of Sydney's finest theme-happy hospotality kings are at the helm of The Chalet, namely The Lobo Plantation's Eddie Levy and Michael Hwang and The Island's Adam Abrams and Julian Tobias. Taking time off their upcoming restaurant at the InterContinental Sydney Double Bay, the foursome have created quite the winter go-to; blending their proven decorating skills with all the mulled wine and hot chocolate you could want after a long cold day's trudgery.

The Chalet will be open for three months where The Victoria Room used to be. According to GF, the space will then be handed over to a yet-to-be-announced team for a more permanent new spot.

Find The Chalet at 235 Victoria St, Darlinghurst from Thursday, June 25 at 5pm.
