Hop into bed at Medusa

This Easter there’s a sweet surprise under your pillow.  There’s nothing like a few days away in a boutique hotel that’s surrounded by great food and beverage.  Try the best pasta at A Tavola. Try the best gelato at Messina. Try the best ramen noodles at Gaku Robata Grill. Try the best Indian cuisine at Malabar. Try the Darlo Bar for the best beer and the best cocktail at Lil’l Darlin.  The great news is they’re all just steps away.

Room with a view

One of the most lovely features of a grand Victorian terrace is an oversized veranda.

At Medusa, balcony charm beckons you from the rooms within. Traditionally ornate, you will be drawn to the lace and grace that dominates the ironwork which protects you from the world beneath.
The perfect spot for a latte…

Thank you to the Darlo Darlings

The Darlo Darlings (a facebook community page for our surburb – Darlinghurst) came together last week for a ‘10 at Medusa’ lunch to support the ‘Girls and Boys Brigade’, a worthy cause in aid of disadvantaged children and youths in the city fringe.
Without government support this charity relies on volunteers and donations. At this awful Covid time they desperately need help. The Darlo Darlings founder, Mike Galvin with the Executive Officer of the Girls and Boys Brigade, Stefan Lamour Jansson are the kindest souls – coordinating fundraisers for this worthy charity. If you would like to donate please contact Stefan 02 93194509 info@girlsandboysbrigade.org.au

We can help you treat dad (and mum) to a few days of inner city luxury and fun. Darlinghurst is a great base for exploring Sydney’s delights and we will make sure they won’t get board.

Our team will make sure every day is full of interesting stuff to do – or alternatively give him space to relax.

Dad won’t need a car because the highlights are all close by, he can walk to just about everything that takes his fancy.
• If he is into architecture he will find some of the city’s landmarks, from the historical (the Darlinghurst goal and the iconic Iona) to the contemporary (Harry Seidler’s Horizon and the Garvan Institute).
• If the arts are his passion, there are a plethora of galleries, museums and antiquities.
• If he is an insomniac, the buzz of the Cross is just a stroll away and the place has never been safer for tourists.
• If he prefers to smell the roses, parks are aplenty, including Ruchcutters Bay and the extraordinary Botanical Gardens.
• If reading is his thing, Darlo has many interesting book shops and curiosity shops for antique manuscripts and retro collectables.
• If he delights in a well deserved ice cold beer, no worries. We’ll usher him to the cool Darlo Bar across the road or the larger Green Park around the bend for his on tap favourites.
• If he is a gourmet? Well that’s easy, we will direct him to the enormous selection in our aura. Darlinghurst is a hub for food and beverage in Sydney’s fringe and we have a concise list in or compendium.

Lastly, dad may just wish for some quite time and we truly respect that. Our sunny courtyard with its soft pastel colours and lovely reflection pool is a great place to ponder – or maybe dad would like to just put his feet up in the comfort of his room.
We treasure our dads and grandads, they deserve to be spoilt and we can make that happen!
