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.
