Crows Nest Hotel

A local icon on Sydney’s Lower North Shore since 1929, the Crows Nest Hotel engaged Paul Kelly Design to reimagine its gaming room as a glamorous escape. The result is a jewel box of rich, layered detail — a dramatic concentric ceiling feature crowned by a cascading brass chandelier, set above quilted burgundy leather and warm timber.

Reeded glass screens and brass accents carve the room into intimate zones, while a boldly patterned carpet grounds the space. The atmosphere is at once indulgent and welcoming, lifting the everyday gaming experience into something memorable.
