We acknowledge the Gadigal people of the Eora nation as the Traditional Custodians of our local area.
As Australia’s first and longest-running entertainment precinct, it’s seen everything from jazz and cabaret to counterculture and controversy.
Today, it is a vibrant inner-city village where every corner hums with possibility. Kings Cross Quarter (KXQ) blends leafy streets and historic charm with destination dining, boutique hotels, buzzing cafés, lively pubs, stylish cocktail bars, and a handful of nightclubs that echo its legendary past.
KXQ is where Sydney comes to eat, drink, stay and play: day or night. It’s a precinct with personality, packed with energy, and alive with experiences you won’t find anywhere else.
