About this space

The Upstairs Lounge is a private lounge in The London Hotel that presents a relaxed, classic pub atmosphere defined by comfortable lounge seating and vintage detailing.

Design: The lounge pairs dark-painted timber panelling and a gallery wall of framed prints with leather Chesterfield sofas, layered patterned rugs and a traditional fireplace to create a familiar, old‑school pub interior.

Features: The lounge includes a built-in PA system and speakers and permits guests to play their own music. A large wall-mounted screen supports televised content and the room receives natural light during the day. The layout combines low timber tables and lounge seating for a flexible mix of seated and standing use.

Ideal for: Small social groups or compact work teams seeking a relaxed, conversational space with music and informal seating.

What sets it apart: A private upstairs balcony that provides views across the harbour and the Harbour Bridge.

What guests say: The space retains an old-school pub character and regularly features live music, and the upstairs area is valued for its balcony harbour views.
