Modern Australian
  • Charming
The creation of Platform 818 was influenced by the history and heritage of its locality at 818 George Street. Directly below the hotel lies the now unused original Goods Line Tunnel – the first of its kind in Sydney – used to connect Sydney Rail Yard and the Sydney-Parramatta railway line to the shipping port of Darling Harbour. Conveniently located opposite the historical Central Station, the largest station in Sydney which was first opened in 1855 as a simple wooden platform, nothing more than a corrugated iron shed, we have taken some of this rustic inspiration for our new décor.

Platform 818 is relaxed, industrial, rustic, yet chic, and it’s ideal for people looking for great times and new palatable adventures.

The food was good, not amazing. The manager and our waitress went out of their way to accommodate us, but it was unusually busy they said. The manager and our waitress were very nice and made all effort to make it a nice evening. The ambiance was a 3-4 star hotel restaurant. They did not have our reservation when we arrived
