Attic Bar - The ArtHouse Hotel
275 Pitt Street, Sydney
About the function space
Right in the heart of Sydney's CBD, The ArtHouse Hotel mixes retro style with historic charm. The building dates back to 1836, when it was known as The School of Arts, and has long been a home for art, music, and entertainment.
The Attic, once a smoking room and chess club, is now a warm and stylish space for private events. Located on the second floor, it offers extra privacy and includes its own bar—ideal for private events.
The space features high arched windows, restored fireplaces, Chesterfield couches, and antique furniture, creating a relaxed and elegant atmosphere.
Your private bar will be well stocked, and the kitchen will prepare delicious, house-made food for your event. From your first enquiry to the end of your celebration, the ArtHouse Hotel's friendly events team will be there to make sure everything runs smoothly.
Location wise, The ArtHouse Hotel sits directly above Town Hall Station, with major bus routes right outside. This makes it easy for your guests to get here—perfect for stress-free, accessible events.
