Logistics 

Castlereagh Boutique Hotel: Hyde Room, Level 5.  

 

It's about a 5 minute walk from either Town Hall Station or St James Station, and around the corner from Gadigal metro station. If you're driving, the closest parking is Piccadilly parking (note the discounted weekend rates are for pre-pay not drive up). 

There are a few steps to the lobby but they have a portable ramp if needed. You may be required to sign in to the hotel as it is a club. The lifts are around the corner to the left after you enter the main lobby - we did find them a bit slow on the day we visited. There are also stairs up if that is an option for you. 

For lunch, Galeries Vic  or Pitt St Mall will likely have the most variety of fast food, both about 5 minutes walk. Remember Sunday is a restricted public holiday so finding options may be more tricky! Most of the fast food nearby should be open based on their websites, but Westfield and supermarkets will be closed. We've listed some options below and noted if they're showing as open definitely open sunday - will adjust if anyone has further information. Eating in the space should be fine so feel free to bring your lunch or have someone bring you something, but if rubbish can be limited that would be appreciated as we plan to take this out with us at the end of each day.

• Chapter 5 Cafe (at hotel entrance) open to 1pm both days
  
• Galleries Vic lower ground/food court  (including Japanese, Sushi, Thai, Oporto, Fish, Italian) 
• Grilld (Galleries Vic, upstairs) -  open Sat & Sunday
• McDonalds (QVB or under Myer)
• Hungry Jacks (around the corner)
• Westfield (Under Myer or Level 5)

For dinner, see our dinner post.


If you need to contact us in a hurry, we'll probably see a message on Discord quickest- if you're not in our channel let us know and we'll invite.


We're looking forward to seeing everyone!
