“It could be as simple as taking a few deep breaths before the day begins, or noticing how your body feels after a long week,” says Natalie Ferrari, owner of The Parlour Room, the rejuvenating spa and salon located adjacent to The EVE on Baptist Street.
In and around The EVE, you’ll find an array of experiences that allow for that deep exhale to happen. A sanctuary just steps from Sydney’s vibrant tempo, the moment you cross the threshold into the soothing, cloistered hotel lobby, you’ll find yourself on a journey of renewal and relaxation. Beyond the hotel, movement studios and bathhouses offer further ways to restore, reset and reconnect with the body.
Escape at The Parlour Room
One of Sydney’s best beauty destinations, The Parlour Room invites you to shift your focus inwards with a curation of beauty treatments, massages and packages that dissolve tensions and illuminate inner glows. “It’s all about making people feel good in their own skin and celebrating natural beauty,” says Natalie. But when it comes to addressing the fatigue accrued by daily life, Natalie’s go-to treatment is the Sleep Ritual, “it’s such a beautiful way to completely switch off and reconnect,” she says.
Wind down at The EVE’s rooftop pool
Open to the Sydney sky, with a deeply inviting pool hemmed by rich-green foliage, The EVE’s rooftop puts you in a holiday state of mind from the moment you step outside. Soundscaped by underwater speakers, swims here become ambient and immersive interludes – liberating a more relaxed version of yourself. Rise early for sunrise laps in the heated pool or clear the diary for a day spent in a cabana sipping on cocktails and enjoying curated poolside bites.
Practice daily therapy with Saardé
Sharing with The EVE a philosophy of ornamenting life with beautiful objects and small pleasures, the flagship store of Sydney-based homewares label, Saardé (pronounced sar-day) can be accessed via the hotel lobby. You’ll also notice Saardé’s bespoke products in your room, from the bathroom amenities to the glassware, which you can buy in-store to take a little of The EVE home with you. Designed with minimalist precision, Saardé imbues everyday routines with simple luxury.
Soak and steam at Capybara Bathing
A short stroll from The EVE, Capybara Bathing offers a contemporary take on the communal bathhouse. Ease into the 38°C mineral bath, settle into the cedar-scented steam of the traditional sauna, or sharpen the senses with a cold plunge. The Redfern wellness space offers Watsu – a gentle form of aquatic therapy where the body is supported, stretched and guided through warm water – as well as immersive sound baths designed to encourage deep rest and stillness.
Move mindfully at Scout Studios
Movement takes a more considered pace at Scout Studios, a Redfern studio built around pilates, barre and yoga. Alongside classes designed to build strength, mobility and balance, the studio supports recovery through its sauna, hot magnesium baths and ice bath. Whether beginning the morning with an energising reformer Pilates session or winding down with a yin yoga class after a day exploring the neighbourhood, Scout is a space for both rest and renewal. Guests of The EVE have complimentary access throughout their stay.
Where wellbeing begins
In Redfern, wellness feels refreshingly unforced. It lives in the deep stretches of an early morning yoga class, quiet laps in a turquoise pool high above the neighbourhood, a spa ritual curated to encourage deep sleep, or simply a thoughtfully designed room that allows the day to soften at its edges.
At The EVE, relaxation is woven into every stay, with spaces that invite rest and a neighbourhood that rewards slowing down and turning inwards.
