The Newmarket's New Identity

From the group behind The Middle and Albert Park Hotels comes the reopening of The Newmarket in St Kilda.

here’s a nod to the St Kilda of old (a little grunge, a little cool). With a new design that combines these elements with its own urban style in Inkerman Street, sees the reopening of The Newmarket Hotel. From the group behind the Middle Park Hotel, the Albert Park Hotel and the Royal Saxon in Richmond, group director Julian Gerner has again employed the rich skills of consultant chef Paul Wilson and Mark Healy from 6 Degrees architects. They have given the old space a new fit out and have put their own collaborative thumbprint on the hotel. Here you will find a striking space of indoor and outdoor dining areas and a chef’s table for up to 16 people, which cleverly uses light and space with a modern retro feel.

The menu focuses on South American flavours that are conducive to a warm Australian climate. Think peppers, chillis, cured hams and rare breed roasts from the wood-fired oven and no wine or beer will be served in bottles, with four reds, four whites, a sparkling and a rose all available by the carafe along with 17 beer taps serving some interesting brews. The consistency of this group and their collaborative nous and style means we’ll be back soon. St Kilda has a new/old watering hole.
