City Recital Hall, Sydney
Large Venue Hire

2 Angel Place, Sydney CBD, 2000

City Recital Hall is tucked away in the city laneway of Angel Place Sydney, just steps away from Wynyard and Martin Place, in the heart of the CBD.

By day, Angel Place is a favourite amongst business lunch diners and tourists keen to experience the iconic ‘Forgotten Songs’ birdcage installation. At night, Angel Place is closed to traffic, with restaurants extending their trade onto the street, and the party getting started at the nearby Ivy district.

In 2024 City Recital Hall underwent a significant refurbishment, with new foyers, bars and amenities throughout, plus new dressing rooms, Green Room and Function Room. Celebrating 25 years, the acoustic jewel of the Sydney CBD is now available for private and corporate hire.
