Palm Springs in inner SydneyAdina Apartment Hotel Chippendale

Stepping into the Adina Apartment Hotel in Chippendale is like falling into a rabbit hole and landing smack in the middle of Palm Springs—minus the desert, but with all the style. Think mid-century vibes, retro palm tree wallpaper, and a pool that looks like it’s auditioning for an Instagram influencer’s next post. You half expect to see Frank Sinatra lounging in a cabana, martini in hand. But no, it’s me instead, clutching a hazy IPA and wondering how the hell I ended up in this chic little oasis in the heart of inner Sydney.

Chippendale is one of those suburbs that’s equal parts gritty and glamorous, with a dose of "why haven’t I heard of this place before?" The area’s got its fair share of converted warehouses that scream "cool creative types live here." Locals sprawl across Chippendale Green, picnic baskets in hand. Just nearby is Central Park Mall, sleek, shiny, and futuristic, the kind of place where you could spend an hour deciding between artisanal gelato or fusion tacos.

But what really makes Chippendale buzz is its art scene. Around Abercrombie Street, you’ll find contemporary galleries packed with pieces that’ll either blow your mind or make you think, "Am I not getting this?" The creative energy is palpable. Then there’s Kensington Street, which is like the food truck of your dreams came to life, packed with hawker-style Asian joints and alleyways with cafes that pumping out flat whites at record speed.

Back at the Adina the rooms are a step up from your typical city hotel—spacious enough to stretch out like you’re on a mini-holiday, but with the convenience of being smack in the middle of everything. You could literally walk past this place if you didn’t know where it was. It’s got all the trimmings: kitchenettes for whipping up a snack, a gym for pretending you’ll work off all that hawker food (spoiler: you won’t), and that iconic pool for when you want to channel your inner Palm Springs cool.

If you’re looking for a stay that’s equal parts chill and chic, with Chippendale’s cutting-edge charm right on your doorstep, the Adina’s got you covered. Now excuse me while I lounge by the pool, pretending I’m not in Sydney but somewhere between 1960s California, an art gallery opening and a craft beer bar.
