The Eve Hotel Sydney: Inside the New Luxury Rooftop Pool in Surry Hills

Nestled on the cusp of Redfern and Surry Hills, The EVE Hotel in Sydney is the latest addition to Sydney’s design-led hospitality scene, an urban sanctuary where style, culture and city energy converge. Opened in early 2025 as part of the new Wunderlich Lane precinct, the hotel brings together thoughtful architecture, lush interiors and impeccable service.

Close to the hustle and bustle of the city, The EVE is a sophisticated tribute to Sydney’s natural light and outdoor lifestyle. Designed by SJB Architects, the hotel draws inspiration from the neighbourhood’s creative character - earthy materials, refined textures and a rich palette. Every detail, from curated furniture to striking lighting, reflects a commitment to comfort and creativity. Working with a team of local designers, artists and makers, the hotel highlights a curated collection of contemporary art and objects that really celebrate a sense of place.

The hotel's design also draws on biophilic design principles to bring the outside in, and linking to the site's botanical link back to John Baptist’s nursery and pleasure gardens.

At its core, The EVE is a study in contemporary Australian design - a refined and expressive urban retreat that feels intrinsically connected to its Surry Hills and Redfern surrounds. This design narrative extends skyward to the rooftop pool, a 20-metre oasis framed by lush planting, terracotta tones and panoramic city views where architecture, landscape and leisure merge seamlessly. The result is a hotel that doesn’t simply offer accommodation, but an immersive spatial experience: intimate, sun-drenched and deeply attuned to Sydney’s creative spirit.
