Ace Hotel Sydney is our first-ever spot in Australia, set in the verve of Surry Hills. Inspired by the neighbourhood's vibrant rhythm, Ace Sydney is home to a bustling public Lobby alive nearly nightly with DJs and performers, a rebellious art program and sunken lounge just off the Lobby bar. We’ve also got three distinct restaurants led by award-winning culinary pros, including local legend Chef Mitch Orr’s Kiln; our oasis for fresh, seasonal fare called LOAM; and a day-to-night laneway café, Good Chemistry. Now all we need is you.

About Kiln

Named Good Food Guide's Best New Restaurant of the Year 2023, this daring menu is curated by the culinary alchemist Mitch Orr, whose inspiration emphasises Italian, Japanese, and Southeast Asian flavours. Here, the ingredients harness the open flame, smoke, and smoulder of the kitchen's wood-burning grill. It's all about sharing the love—the entire menu is crafted for communal feasting, and we're talking top-notch, sustainably sourced ingredients that roll with the seasons.

Elevating the dining experience, our carefully curated beverage selection features a wine list with natural, low-intervention, and small producers, offering unique flavours that complement the menu's temporal offerings. Additionally, our seasonally crafted cocktails highlight the best of locally sourced spirits, perfect for enhancing each dish or savouring on their own. Join us on a journey where exceptional cuisine effortlessly blends with thoughtfully selected drinks, taking your dining experience beyond the ordinary.
