Set within the considered, expansive Ivy complex, The Ivy Lobby is the welcoming threshold to a venue boasting eighteen bars, nine restaurants, a pool, one of Sydney's largest ballrooms and two penthouse suites. The space carries the broader Palm Springs glamour and easy mid-century nostalgia firmly planted within inner-city Sydney, while shaping its own residential, considered domestic register. Material, light and considered detail lead, allowing the lobby to welcome the visitor with quiet, easy confidence.
