Visitors can linger for an hour or a day before exploring the galleries, cafes, markets of this historic area. At the Hughenden people meet over coffee and a meal or just enjoy a glass of wine or listen to Sir Victor playing the baby grand on Friday and Saturday evenings. On Sundays there is High Tea in winter in front of the fireplace. Writers and artists frequent the café and sitting rooms. Autographed children's books can be purchased there. Visitors may wander through the Victorian sitting rooms enjoying the artwork, as well as the architecture of the Hughenden with its black marble fireplaces and secret servants' bells.
During the day, dog lovers sit with their puppy behind the fleur-de-lis wrought iron fence while enjoying cake and coffee and watching Queen Street pass by. The Hughenden is one of the few hotels where pets can actually stay overnight. There is Centennial Parklands across the road for playtime with a leash-free area, pets can even be a guest at your civil ceremony.
Sports weekends are alive at the Hughenden. A light meal, a drink, excited discussions are the hallmark of a Sydney Swans game or a one day match at the SCG or rugby. There is a cricket display at the Hughenden of the famous British Quaife cricketing family. Included in the display is Australia's own Bradman's Invincibles, some of who stayed at the Hughenden. Look for the autographed cricket ball. Visitors can walk to the sports venues from the Hughenden too.
Special events such as Yuletide in July, Mothers Day, Valentine's Day or an overnight dinner bed and breakfast package are part of the life of the Hughenden.
It is about dropping in, dining or staying overnight, perusing the art, experiencing the heritage of an 1870s mansion in a unique part of Sydney. It is about the pleasure of staying at the Hughenden.
