Welcome to the Aurora Hotel located at 324 Elizabeth Street Surry Hills on the corner Kippax Street. The Aurora Hotel is a spacious and versatile venue that is unique, sits on a major transport hub close to the city and has been a part of the inner city since the late 1800s.

As part of the Thomas Hotel Group, the Aurora Hotel was completely redeveloped and renovated during 2006/07. Post redevelopment, it is a vibrant, warm and welcoming venue that appeals to local residents, workers, professionals, commuters and party crowds. The hotel’s capability to hold functions large and small, plus regular sporting coverage, has contributed to the Aurora’s growing popularity.

The redevelopment has allowed the construction of two new levels - the Roof top beer garden and the Kippax cocktail lounge. Both levels are serviced by a lift and there are also two sets of stairs, ensuring an easy flow of clientele throughout the hotel. With the addition of the first level bar, the Kippax Lounge, we have created a venue that caters to diners and drinkers alike. Great food with an extensive wine and cocktail list ensures there is something for everyone.
