The Kirketon Hotel offers Standard, Premium, Executive, and Superior rooms equipped with rain showers, LCD TVs, and MicroCloud bedding. Two dining venues serve guests: Jamie's Kitchen provides breakfast and brunch with options from egg benedicts to wagyu sandwiches, while Fu Manchu restaurant specializes in modern Chinese cuisine. The property houses two notable bars - the award-winning Eau de Vie cocktail bar hidden behind black velvet curtains, and the sophisticated Mayfair Lounge featuring locally sourced ingredients.

“Kirketon Hotel's Parisian-inspired aesthetic strikes a distinctive chord in Sydney's nightlife district; I appreciate its commitment to artful design. Dining at Jamie's Kitchen and a visit to Eau de Vie are highlights that shouldn't be missed. It's a solid base for exploring Kings Cross and Darling Harbour.”
