Sydney CBD’s most recently opened international hotel, the Four Points by Sheraton Sydney, Central Park is celebrating its first anniversary with the launch of a special package commemorating the 200th anniversary of Chippendale, the suburb reborn as one of Sydney’s hippest art and lifestyle precincts.
Chippendale was named after William Chippendale who was granted a 95 acre farming concession on the southern fringe of the Sydney colony in 1819.
In the subsequent 200 years it has been an impoverished industrial slum, one of Australia’s largest brewery sites, a favoured ground for gangland and other nefarious activities, and now home to Sydney’s most exciting urban regeneration project called Central Park, adjacent to Central Station.
To mark the 200th anniversary, the Four Points by Sheraton Sydney Central Park has launched a specially-designed walking tour brochure that guides visitors through Chippendale’s heritage, its cutting-edge architecture, the vibrant Kensington Street dining strip, and the suburb’s eclectic collection of galleries, which includes one of Australia’s most acclaimed – White Rabbit.
The tour concludes with the opportunity to taste a glass of ChippendALE at the Four Points’ Malt Bar, which has been brewed exclusively for the hotel by Sydney Brewery to celebrate Chippendale’s 200th anniversary.
The Malt Bar and its extensive range of craft beers pays homage to the site’s origins as the largest brewery in NSW, which began its life as the Kent Brewery in 1835, and operated continuously until the Carlton & United Brewery produced its last beer in 2003, paving the way for its rebirth as the $2billion Central Park precinct.
The Four Points by Sheraton Sydney, Central Park has been the latest addition to the Central Park precinct and was designed by internationally acclaimed British architecture firm Foster + Partners, with 297 guest rooms and suites, fitness centre, Central Quarter Restaurant, Malt Bar and convenient parking facilities.
Reflecting the brand’s promise to provide what matters most to today’s independent travellers, the hotel offers all of brand’s defining touches, including the signature Four Points by Sheraton Comfort bed and complimentary bottled water, free Wi-Fi in all public areas, an energising breakfast and the brand’s signature Best BrewsTM program.
