Hot on the heels of the opening of Veriu Broadway, the Veriu crew announce a new 110-room hotel located at the gateway to Surry Hills, scheduled to open in November!
Veriu Central will be a $15 million conversion of the heritage listed 'Wentworth House' and will remain true to the character of the building combining old world elegance with contemporary style. Just as Veriu Broadway captured an industrial warehouse feel, Veriu Central will embrace characteristics of its turn of the century architecture.
"One of the foundations of the Veriu brand is to incorporate the unique elements of each building and provide guests with a different experience each time they stay in one of our hotels," said Rhys Williams, Director of Veriu Hotels & Suites.
The new hotel will add to the thriving inner city dining scene offering five quality restaurant and bar venues onsite. It's city chic location will also make it a popular choice with the Surry Hills fashionistas.
Guests will be invited to check in at The Drawing Room, an eclectic and modern interpretation of a classic 1920s design, that combines the traditional hotel lobby space with a vibrant bar and eatery. The original heritage building boasted an opulent drawing room in the roaring 20's, created for entertaining guests with music, intellectual debate, drinking and laughter. Veriu's, The Drawing Room, is designed to evoke the same feeling of conversation, frivolity and recreation all with a generous dose of style and decadence. An all-day grazing menu will be available through to late night drinks at the art deco style bar.
Celebrated Sydney hospitality experts, Applejack Hospitality – famous for outlets such as The Butler Potts Point and Bondi Hardware – have provided the creative framework for The Drawing Room and two other venues: Harry's Dumpling House and Harry's Singapore Chilli Crab, which will offer Asian street hawker style food and craft beers, both accessible from the hotel lobby.
Established modern Australian restaurant, Nel, will also become part of the Veriu Central dining precinct. The unique bunker-esque style venue has become a popular favourite for locals since opening in 2015 and offers a degustation menu that changes every six weeks to enable Australia's best seasonal produce to be showcased.
Basket Brothers café will be your go-to breakfast, brunch or lunch venue for guests offering all the staples – great coffee, and a menu described as 'next level comfort food'. We can hardly wait!
Veriu Central's 110 rooms and suites will all offer luxury bedding, LED TV's, minibar and in room safe. The spacious Wentworth Suites will boast kitchenette facilities including microwave and coffee pod machine.
The signature Veriu complimentary 'explorer bikes' will also be on offer, encouraging guests to discover the surrounding Sydney villages of Surry Hills and beyond. Other standard complimentary offerings common to all Veriu properties, include a welcome drink, WiFi and in-room tunes via Smart TV technology.
