The concept for the Surry Hills Project, the butterfly, burgeoned from the eclecticism that is Surry Hills. A suburb that was coined ‘the cities backyard’, whose population at one stage was 70% migrant, and preaches inclusion. Like the butterfly blossoming in their new personas, so too did the migrants. The bright colours and rich textures convey to the guests, that like the butterfly, they’re there for a good time, not a long time. With a range of amenities such as rooftop garden, two bars, restuarant, grocer, gym, spa, library and function room, guests have everything they need. The three suites feature a private balcony, with ample space for entertaining, whilst the rooftop restaurant and garden makes one forget they’re 10mins from the city.

The outdoor terrace is designed with entertaining in mind, including custom pizza oven, while the interiors proudly displays their years of travel.
