Millers Point's Historic Palisade Hotel Is Set to Reopen
This 100-year-old Sydney gem is about to go all Soho House.
The Palisade Hotel was once the highest building in Sydney. It's true, back in 1915 it was built as a pub for port workers and the residents of Millers Point; a feat of modern commercial development. After many long and hearty years as a Millers staple pub, hotel and prized Brian Sudek/Annie Parmentier restaurant, it closed in 2008. But now, the Palisade is about to find new life in its 100th year, under brand new ownership.
Quite the prime real estate spot, the Palisade has been snapped up for about $20 million by entrepreneur Richard Sapsford, according to Good Food. Set to reopen in August, the pub will apparently fuse boutique hotel accommodation with a brand new eatery and bar, under the direction businessman of Greg Walker.
GF reports owner of The Society Inc and interior stylist for the likes of Palings, Mr Wong, Palmer & Co, El Loco, 30 Knots, Upstairs at The Beresford, MsG’s and more Sibella Court has been locked in to steer the revamp — one she has hinted may have a "Soho House feel", nodding to the New York City Meatpacking District institution.
The Palisade will reportedly reopen in August 2015. Watch this space for more details.
