Overview
When it comes to luxury hotels in Australia, Sydney rules the roost. From the enclave of five-star stays around Darling Harbour and Barangaroo including Crown Towers and The W Sydney, to the inner-city suites of Capella, The Kimpton Margot and the soon-to-be-finished multimillion-dollar renovation of the Sofitel Sydney Wentworth, not to mention the stalwarts like The Four Season, Shangri-La and The InterContinental, the Harbour City's collection of luxury accommodations has no equal.
But it's not just the guest rooms that impress. Sydney boasts some of the best hotel restaurants in the country, such as Mitch Orr's Kiln at The Ace Hotel in Surry Hills, Nick Hildebrandt and Brent Savage's Bentley Restaurant + Bar at the Radisson Blu Plaza in the CBD, and quite possibly the best restaurant in the city right now, Sydney Common at the Sheraton Grand overlooking Hyde Park.
The Eve, a new 102-key boutique hotel at the imminently completed Surry Hills Village development, hopes to join these lauded ranks as one of Sydney's top hotel dining destinations. To achieve this, Hoteliers TFE have tapped Liquid & Larder, the hospitality group behind top steakhouses The Gidley and Bistecca.

While details on what Sydneysiders can expect at The Eve are scant, Liquid & Larder have confirmed they will be overseeing multiple venues within the hotel, including a poolside diner, a rooftop restaurant and bar, and a classic lobby cocktail lounge.
"We are known across our portfolio of restaurants and bars for providing our guests with extraordinary sensory experiences and challenging the status quo. Having the opportunity to playfully curate multiple spaces and experiences is what excites us most about entering the world of hotels," Liquid & Larder co-founder and Director James Bradey said.
When it opens in November, The Eve's restaurants and bars will join a broader hospitality offering at Surry Hills Village, which will include a new Greek garden restaurant by the team from The Apollo in Potts Point and three new venues from House Made Hospitality.
Find the Eve Hotel at 8 Baptist St, on the border of Surry Hills and Redfern. For more details, visit the Surry Hills Village website.
