Hotel Palisade - MILLERS POINT

Having been here before it closed in 2008 all I can say is wowsers, they really timed the opportunity to re-open to perfection.

REVIEW FOR THE HOTEL! Yes there are some bars and restaurants here but this is for the hotel. We stayed here for 2 nights (it was supposed to be 3-thanks

Fantastic spot- second to none in terms of views! Felt like you were dining and drinking on cloud nine .

The downstairs pub in the charming old building, standing alone on the block. On a quiet Wednesday night we almost had the place to ourselves, we grabbed a window seat and enjoyed our bridge view. What an amazing Sydney experience. And to the food, classic pub fare done really well. Yum! Will def keep this in mind for next time we’re in the city. Probably one of the best pub experiences ever. Plenty of local metered street parking nearby, and the neighbourhood is super cute.

I was expecting big big things after the nine million stairs I had to climb to reach the rooftop. Turned out it was the stairway to heaven, the most stunning fit out overlooking beautiful harbour views. AMAZING. Can I live here please? Those pale pink couches! I die. Unfortunately the menu wasn't really doing it for me I think it fell a little too far into pretentious territories. Where was the humble bread and dips? (There was a cheese platter at least). The frose was phenomenal though the sizeable glass was filled to the absolute brim. Definitely a super sophisticated place for a cocktail or two. The top two levels are very swish, very glossy and glamorous, very Sydney. Can't say I appreciated the 10% service charge levelled onto my bill though. This isn't America people
