And, yeah, it might be a bit lazy, but I soaked it all up. From the amazing toiletries in the marble bathroom (I know, right) to the 1920s prohibition bar in the basement, here are 17 reasons why you\u2019ll never want to leave the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lastminute.com.au\/Sydney-Hotels-Establishment-Hotel.h564346.Hotel-Information?brandcid=LASTMINUTE-au.social.FACEBOOK.JUN17-ESTABLISHMENT-HOTEL-REVIEW-BLOG.generic&amp;utm_source=FACEBOOK&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_content=all&amp;utm_campaign=JUN17-ESTABLISHMENT-HOTEL-REVIEW-BLOG\">Establishment Hotel<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p>1. This is the bar. I\u2019m sneaky and took a pic at 2pm, when you can actually see it. It\u2019s a totally different scene at 5pm, when it\u2019s hip and happening.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/images.trvl-media.com\/media\/content\/expaus\/lm\/ads\/2017\/establishment-hotel\/1048px-wide-1.jpg\" width=\"1048\" height=\"699\" \/><br \/>\n2. Half-price drinks every Friday from 5 &#8211; 7pm. One for me&#8230; and another one for me. ?<\/p>\n<p>3. Heaps of delicious restaurants! Let\u2019s start with <a href=\"http:\/\/merivale.com.au\/est\">est.<\/a> &#8211; modern Australian cuisine on level 1.<\/p>\n<p>4. And <a href=\"http:\/\/merivale.com.au\/sushie\">Sushi-e<\/a> on level 4 &#8211; an authentic Japanese restaurant with two hats.<\/p>\n<p>5. And who could forget <a href=\"http:\/\/merivale.com.au\/mrwong\">Mr. Wong<\/a>? You definitely won\u2019t after you\u2019ve tried its AMAZING Cantonese-style cuisine. Access it via Bridge Street, just around the corner.<\/p>\n<p>6. PLUS you can charge all of these restaurants straight to your room, so you never need to look for an ATM. It\u2019s almost like you\u2019re not spending anything. You don\u2019t get that feeling when you go out.<\/p>\n<p>7. Maybe take the hotel slippers off first, but within the Establishment hotel complex you\u2019ll also find the experiential and clandestine 1920s-themed bar, <a href=\"https:\/\/merivale.com.au\/palmerandco\">Palmer &amp; Co<\/a>. All the staff wear 1920s attire, giving you a perfect excuse to dress up. Top tip: for easy access, take the lift to the basement.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/images.trvl-media.com\/media\/content\/expaus\/lm\/ads\/2017\/establishment-hotel\/1048px-wide-2.jpg\" width=\"1048\" height=\"1397\" \/><br \/>\n8. The Establishment even has alleyways, and they\u2019re soooo hipster you don\u2019t even need to go far for an insta-worthy shot. That\u2019s right &#8211; straight back inside, my friend.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BUQLcIPh60K\/\" data-instgrm-version=\"8\" style=\" background:#FFF; border:0; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width:658px; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);\">\n<div style=\"padding:8px;\">\n<div style=\" background:#F8F8F8; line-height:0; margin-top:40px; padding:62.4537037037037% 0; text-align:center; width:100%;\">\n<div style=\" background:url(data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAACwAAAAsCAMAAAApWqozAAAABGdBTUEAALGPC\/xhBQAAAAFzUkdCAK7OHOkAAAAMUExURczMzPf399fX1+bm5mzY9AMAAADiSURBVDjLvZXbEsMgCES5\/P8\/t9FuRVCRmU73JWlzosgSIIZURCjo\/ad+EQJJB4Hv8BFt+IDpQoCx1wjOSBFhh2XssxEIYn3ulI\/6MNReE07UIWJEv8UEOWDS88LY97kqyTliJKKtuYBbruAyVh5wOHiXmpi5we58Ek028czwyuQdLKPG1Bkb4NnM+VeAnfHqn1k4+GPT6uGQcvu2h2OVuIf\/gWUFyy8OWEpdyZSa3aVCqpVoVvzZZ2VTnn2wU8qzVjDDetO90GSy9mVLqtgYSy231MxrY6I2gGqjrTY0L8fxCxfCBbhWrsYYAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC); display:block; height:44px; margin:0 auto -44px; position:relative; top:-22px; width:44px;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\" margin:8px 0 0 0; padding:0 4px;\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BUQLcIPh60K\/\" style=\" color:#000; font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; font-style:normal; font-weight:normal; line-height:17px; text-decoration:none; word-wrap:break-word;\" target=\"_blank\">Woohoo it&#39;s the weekend!!

AMAZE-BALLS. Just have a bath all night and be a walking perfumerie the next\u00a0day.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/images.trvl-media.com\/media\/content\/expaus\/lm\/ads\/2017\/establishment-hotel\/1048px-wide-3.jpg\" width=\"1048\" height=\"699\" \/><br \/>\n10. Speaking of baths, let\u2019s talk about the bath. ALL MARBLE. Ain\u2019t nobody got time for anything else.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/images.trvl-media.com\/media\/content\/expaus\/lm\/ads\/2017\/establishment-hotel\/1048px-wide-4.jpg\" width=\"1048\" height=\"699\" \/><br \/>\n11.

To top off the bedroom, the lighting has three different settings to suit your mood. Shhhfancy!<\/p>\n<p>13. The Establishment Hotel staff are some of <strong>the nicest people ever<\/strong>. You probs won\u2019t find anyone so helpful out on the street (welcome to the world, my friend).<\/p>\n<p>14. Did I mention the toiletries? Because they deserve two points. Gentle, smoky, and leathery. If angels have a smell, this is it.<\/p>\n<p>15. The yummy breakfast, served in the garden room. The atmosphere is pumping!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/images.trvl-media.com\/media\/content\/expaus\/lm\/ads\/2017\/establishment-hotel\/1048px-wide-6.jpg\" width=\"1048\" height=\"699\" \/><br \/>\n16. The cheese selection at the buffet.
