Labelled one of Sydney’s most sought-after suburbs for both living and playing, Darlinghurst has long been known as the pulse of Sydney. From the diverse scene of Oxford Street to the idyllic tree-lined streets reminiscent of Europe, there’s something for everyone–whether you’re after an intimate wine bar, lazy afternoon stroll or pumping club.
Found in what was once the Winn’s Department Store, our workspace in Darlinghurst, Hub Hyde Park, offers five levels of premium flexible workspaces, meeting spaces, a barista-run café and rooftop terrace, servicing some of the city’s best businesses and entrepreneurs.
Being situated in Sydney’s coolest suburb comes with a variety of perks, including being surrounded by Darlinghurst’s best retail, food, and fitness options, all just a short walk away from Hub Hyde Park.

If you’re looking to be transported to a quaint wine bar found in the backstreets of some tiny Italian town, Bar Vincent is the place to go. From the dim lighting through to the charming stone floors, it exudes a romantic air fit for both friends and lovers. The menu is simple and changes depending on seasonal availability, meaning no two trips to Bar Vincent are ever the same, though there will always be some form of a pasta dish on offer that pairs deliciously with their curated wine list.

Retail
Oxford Street
Oxford Street was once the nightlife capital of Sydney, home to some of the most prolific nightclubs especially catering to the LGBTQIA+ community. After lockout laws ran through the city, restaurants, bars and retail stores propped the street up, dishing out everything from Italian diners to local designers. It’s where you’ll find big Australian names like Aesop, Sarah and Sebastian and Nice Martin, alongside Scandi furniture store Great Dane and costume store House of Priscilla. The kicker? You can get direct access to Oxford Street straight from our workspace at Hub Hyde Park.
