As it should be · Est. 1920s
Eat. Drink. Stay.
Holding down the corner of William Street since the 1920s — a classic public bar, a rooftop over the city and 17 boutique rooms for when the night runs long.
A century-old corner pub, boldly reinvented.
Four storeys of heritage charm and modern hospitality — classic pub downstairs, rooftop bar upstairs, boutique hotel in between. Locals, wanderers, creatives: pull up a stool.
Two bars, one corner.
