About Dunkirk Hotel

Dunkirk Hotel is a Trusted Tagvenue Partner, validated by the Tagvenue team with a record of successful bookings on the platform.

Built in 1879 and steeped in tradition, the iconic Dunkirk Hotel in Sydney truly has been Pyrmont’s local for almost 150 years. Formerly the Butcher’s Arms Hotel, it was renamed in the 1940s to commemorate The Battle of Dunkirk.

The Dunkirk Hotel underwent its first renovation in over 17 years in 2020/2021 - including our cellar, Main Bar, Garden Bar, Pool Room, new TAB Room, as well as a new VIP Lounge now located at the front of the hotel on Harris Street. In July 2021, we launched our brand new boutique hotel accommodation - now two floors and 12 rooms of the beautifully refurbished king, queen, family, double single, and single options with both ensuite and shared bathroom options.

The hotel's bottleshop has had an upgrade and now stocks an extensive range of beer, spirits, wine, sparkling, and champagne. More recently, the hotel's facade had a complete 1930's restoration, reestablishing the Dunkirk as the proud heritage-listed institution it once was.
