The Royal Hotel is your race day pit stop
Whether you’re a Spring Carnival regular or you simply enjoy the season’s social events, soak up the spirit of racing at the Royal Hotel in Paddington.
The recently refurbished heritage pub has just launched its Spring Racing takeover with Piper-Heidsieck. The champagne house has decked out the Royal’s iconic rooftop in its vibrant red colours, with a pop-up bar at weekends serving the very best bubbles. With the Royal’s close proximity to Randwick Racecourse, this champagne bar is set to be a buzzing warm-up for racegoers and a destination to continue the fun after the racetrack action.
Those booking the Royal’s Bottomless Brunch – a decadent selection of dishes served family-style for grazing – can upgrade for $60 per person to receive bottomless Piper-Heidsieck while they dine.
Anyone purchasing a bottle or more of Piper-Heidsieck throughout Spring Carnival season will be entered into a prize draw to win an all-expenses paid trip to the Australian Open 2025. The prize includes flights from Sydney to Melbourne, one night accommodation, premium seats at the Open and hospitality at Piper-Heidsieck Champagne Bar.
Looking ahead to Melbourne Cup Day, the Royal is planning the ultimate Cup Day experience in partnership with Piper-Heidsieck. The venue’s elegant veranda will be the heart of the action; guests will be greeted with a glass of Piper-Heidsieck Cuvée Brut and enjoy a three-course banquet and free-flowing drinks. With big screens broadcasting the races, live musical entertainment and an after-party to keep the celebrations going into the evening – this will be a day to remember! The Royal’s Melbourne Cup seated banquet is priced $190pp. Book here.
f the sports bar is where you’d rather be on cup day, the Royal’s sports package gives you a dedicated table with sharable bites including prawn rolls, mozzarella sticks, beef sliders and truffle fries. All in front of the biggest sports screen in the east of Sydney. Book here.
The Royal Hotel is located at Fiveways 237, Glenmore Road Paddington.
