Hotels Pier One Pier One is located in one of the best spots in Sydney, right on the harbour and directly underneath the bridge. It is part of a complex of renovated military barracks, which includes a whole strip of theatres; the Australian Chamber Orchestra, the Sydney Dance Company, and several bars and restaurants. The hotel itself is the epitome of industrial chic, albeit with a maritime twist.
Every element has been painstakingly curated to reflect the hotel’s theme: ‘larrikin’, an old Australian slang word to describe someone with a disregard for convention. From the copper-coloured escalator at the entrance, to the undulating constellation of lights on the corridor ceilings to the maritime-themed rooftop bar and its adjoining vertical pool, it provides an endlessly immersive design experience.
