When Governor Macquarie named King Street and Kent Street after King George III and his son The Duke of Kent, little did he know that this would inspire the minds of the Deconstructed team as they take on their newest venue, the City Hotel
Located on the corner of King Street and Kent Street, The City (as it will come to be known) has been totally overlooked in recent years. Despite its key location and vast capacity, its an undiscovered gem.
Part 1 of the development phase is now complete, with the launch of the aptly named Kent Street Living Room, an inspired nod towards The Duke of Kent and his long-reigning and highly commemorated daughter Queen Victoria.

The first floor room, which was previously a Mexican-themed restaurant complete with cacti, now boats fixtures befitting of royalty. Three centrepiece crystal chandeliers hang from Victorian ceiling roses whilst the bar is lit by four Tom Dixon pendant lamps. It’s a combination of old versus new that continues throughout the room, with new chesterfield leather couches surrounding genuine antique coffee tables and lamps.
Black and white flock wallpaper contrasts with the light green walls which are decorated in turn-of-the-century paintings, gilt frame mirrors and pub-style chalk boards. |
