Bar Lettera has officially been crowned the NSW Accommodation Bar of the Year at the 2025 NSW Accommodation Australia Awards for Excellence, marking a major win for Sydney's boutique bar scene. 

The hotel industry from across New South Wales came together last week at Darling Island Wharf in Sydney to celebrate the winners across 42 categories from more than 380 nominations. 

Located within the vibrant Citadines Walker North Sydney, a vibrant, urban hotel with over 250 apartment style rooms, Bar Lettera is a contemporary Italo-Australian restaurant and wine bar that has quickly become a standout destination for both guests and locals. Blending sharp hospitality with a creative city pulse, it offers a richly layered experience - from artful interiors to a drinks list and menu that celebrates local flavour with an Italian sensibility. The award recognises outstanding accommodation venues that deliver exceptional bar experiences, from service and atmosphere to innovation behind the bar.

"We're incredibly proud to receive this recognition," said David Mansfield, Managing Director of The Ascott Limited, Australasia. "Bar Lettera was designed to be more than just a hotel bar - it's a meeting place, and a celebration of local flavour and craft. This win reflects the passion our team pours into every drink, every plate, and every guest moment."

Since opening, Bar Lettera has cultivated a loyal following drawn to its craft-driven cocktails, locally focused wine selection, and artistically styled interiors. This latest accolade affirms its standing among New South Wales' best bars - not just for hotel guests, but for anyone seeking a refined yet inviting drinking experience in the heart of North Sydney.
