tip Local Tip

When you stay at Rydges, you stay local, and there’s nothing quite like a truly local experience.

If you’re a coffee connoisseur, Single O in Surry Hills is well worth a visit. Just a short walk from the hotel, it’s a local favourite for seriously good coffee and a great way to start the day.

For a taste of something local, Sydney Brewery Surry Hills is right here at the hotel, serving locally brewed beers alongside classic pub favourites. If you’re interested in what goes on behind the scenes, you can also book a brewery tour and learn more about how the beers are made!

And if you’re a sports fan, I recommend catching the Sydney Swans at the SCG. There’s nothing quite like the atmosphere of a Swannies home game, and the SCG is only a short trip from the hotel. Go the Swannies!

Be sure to tag @rydgeshotels on social media and share your local experiences.
