Discover The EVE Hotel: A New Era of Boutique Luxury in Sydney
Tucked between the vibrant neighbourhoods of Surry Hills and Redfern, The EVE Hotel brings a new kind of energy to Sydney’s inner-city stay scene. Since opening in February 2025, this design-led destination has transformed Wunderlich Lane into a cultural and culinary precinct that’s both grounded in the local landscape and globally minded in style.
A Creative Crossroads in the Heart of the City
The EVE sits at the meeting point of Surry Hills’ charming cafe- lined streets and Redfern’s creative pulse. It’s where Victorian terrace homes meet bold street art, indie boutiques mix with historic roots, and culinary innovation thrives.
Built over decades, The EVE is more than just a place to stay – it’s a thoughtful reimagining of how architecture, design and local culture can come together. Designed by a powerhouse team – Adam Haddow of SJB, Daniel Baffsky from 360 Degrees, and interior architect George Livissianis – the hotel has been shaped to reflect its surroundings while embracing sustainability and community.
Effortless Style Meets Local Soul
From the moment you enter the lobby, you feel like you’ve stepped into the home of a design-savvy friend. The EVE’s interiors are airy, textured, and filled with subtle nods to the Australian landscape – bright white breezeblocks, sculptural lighting by local designer Henry Wilson, and lush plantings throughout.
Communal spaces shift between expansive and intimate, with architecture that guides you through both open social areas and quiet corners, creating rhythm of discovery throughout your stay.

Saltbox: Sydney’s New Home for Elevated Events Has Arrived
Introducing Saltbox – a sophisticated, design led venue that has quietly taken centre stage at the newly opened Wunderlich Lane precinct, right on the border of Surry Hills and Redfern. With its sculptural architecture, curated interiors, and an impressive line-up of event-ready spaces, Saltbox is redefining what it means to host in style.
This is a destination in its own right – crafted for experiences that linger long after the last canape.
Saltbox begins with a grand but grounded entrance. Nestled within the vibrant Wunderlich Lane precinct, just metres from the luxurious EVE Hotel. Your guests are welcomed into a refined, urban space with a distinctly warm soul with burnished tones, soft neutrals, and dramatic copper pendants that draw you in from the moment you arrive. A sweeping curved staircase leads to the main event floor – where three beautifully designed, flexible spaces await.
At the heart of it all is The Box, a vast pillarless space ideal for galas, award dinners, conferences, and cocktail soirees. With space for up to 400 guests for a cocktail style event, this venue easily transforms to match the tone – whether you’re hosting a sleek product launch, conference or dinner.
Suites One and Two are ideal for board meetings, team strategy days, with flexible operable walls and access to a 119-square metre terrace overlooking the tree-lined precinct offering a sense of indoor-outdoor flow – a rare asset for an inner-city venue.
Culinary Credibility You Can Taste
Saltbox isn’t just a stunning space – it’s the first standalone venue from Cook & Waiter, one of Australia’s most respected boutique caterers. Led by founder and creative David O’Brien, the team is known for artful, produce-driven menus with an element of surprise.
Whether it’s a networking breakfast, a luxe private dinner, or corporate launch, Cook & Waiter brings their signature style: bold flavours, creative presentation, and flawless service. Menus spotlight sustainable, locally sourced ingredients and can be tailored to suit a variety of occasions – from classic to boundary pushing.
Saltbox’s experience-first philosophy extends to its in-house AV partner, Avionic Event Production. With best-in-class tech, flexible lighting options, and customisable staging, the AV set up is world-class.
In a city brimming with event spaces, Saltbox stands out – offering an entirely new standard of urban sophistication, just moments from the CBD.
