The first 25hours Hotel in Australia will open in Sydney on 25 September 2025.

The 25hours brand is part of Ennismore, a joint venture with Accor.

25hours The Olympia is located on the heritage-listed site of the former West Olympia Theatre and Grand Pacific Blue Room.

The hotel features 109 rooms, with the decor split between ‘Dreamers’ and ‘Renegades’ themes. The Dreamer rooms are light-filled and airy, with soft blue tones. In contrast, the Renegade rooms are moodier in tone with darker colour palettes, bold carpets and adventurous artwork.

The hotel design narrative draws from the building’s cinematic past, with the lobby reimagined as a tribute to film culture and pieces peppered throughout the property that nod to the theatre’s heyday.

The hotel will be home to four hospitality venues, each with a distinct identity; a restaurant (The Palomar), wine and cocktail bar (The Mulwray), coffee house (Jacob The Angel) and rooftop bar (Monica).

Culinary Director Mitch Orr will oversee all venues.

The Palomar will introduce Studio Paskin’s famous London venue to Sydney. The 110-seat restaurant will be centered around an open kitchen, with the menu featuring influences from Southern Europe, North Africa and the Levant, married with Australian ingredients,

The Mulwray, an intimate cocktail and wine bar named after the iconic Evelyn Mulwray from 1974 film Chinatown, will hero classic cocktails, bio-dynamic wines and varieties from lesser known growers.

On the ground floor will be café Jacob the Angel, while rooftop bar Monica by Ennismore’s food and beverage studio Carte Blanched, will be an all-day rooftop oasis.

Located at 1-11 Oxford Street, The Olympia lies at the intersection of five Sydney villages - Paddington, Surry Hills, Darlinghurst, Kings Cross and Moore Park.

General Manager Jake Guilfoyle said: "I'm excited to be launching the very first 25hours Hotel in Australia and its four venues.

"I grew up in Sydney and to lead a hotel that celebrates individuality, creativity and history in my home town is very specia.

"We're building something that lasts, a full experience that not only travellers but locals will seek out."
