The perfect backdrop for professional meetings, corporate team building and creative brainstorming sessions, the Meeting Room is a space to inspire with hints of heritage infused within the space.

Boasting over 100 square metres of rich history, with its original timber panelling, parquetry floors, cornices, and even the restored executive men’s washroom, the C.U.B Suite is the perfect backdrop for boardroom meetings, private dining experiences and creative workshops.

Our Showroom Suite is quite the show-stopper. Infused with heritage, it features an original timber bar that has been salvaged and restored from the former brewery building. Perfect for product showings, activations and photoshoots, the room can be used with or without the bed in place and includes a spacious modern bathroom.

The Mary O’ Suite is one of a kind. Its one-bedroom apartment layout is quite the gem, with separate sleeping, recreation and bathroom areas. Featuring an eight-seater dining table, lounge area and wet bar, you’ll be in good taste amongst details like artwork from Gene Sherman’s private collection.

The Clare bar is a refreshing take on your traditional watering hole, embracing the same ethos that made its prior incarnation so beloved.

Being on a rooftop in the middle of the city is a great way to escape the clamour of a city by settling in above the skyline. Once you’ve soaked up the view and got all the feels, you can grab a drink and relax.

A contemporary light filled space located on our ground floor. Featuring polished concrete floors, exposed brick walls and floor to ceiling glass overlooking Kensington Street, this inner-city space is for those looking for something effortlessly chic.

Originally built in 1938, our Heritage Stairs formerly served as the Clare Hotel’s main stairwell. With its tall curved walls, and oversized Topaz pendant light from Melbourne’s Copper Design, this unconventional space is perfect for small wedding ceremonies and photoshoots.
