The Imperial Hotel Erskineville, a historic and revered LGBQTI haven reborn, unfolds as a 'palace of pleasure.' Balancing fantasy with respect for its custodians, this reimagination embodies celebration, rediscovery and the gravity of a profound legacy.
The upper level Imperial UP draws inspiration from Studio 54 and a playful 'funtown Matisse' vibe where sun-bleached pinks cavort with mustards and burgundy. Retro collectibles, geometric avant-garde carpet and the mirrored main bar infuse lighthearted and kaleidoscopic energy.
