The multi-storey hospitality hub launched at a gala function on 19 February 2025 – attended by Spice – with more than 800 guests coming through its doors.

Created by The Point Group, the team behind Sydney establishments Shell House, The Menzies Bar and The Dolphin Hotel, The International features three levels of dining and drinking in the heart of the city.

Featured across the venue’s three levels is The Wine Bar, a social bar and restaurant with a focus on wine trends and paired food; The Grill, an indoor-outdoor fine dining room; and The Panorama Bar, a rooftop space with stunning garden terraces and city views.

Guests at The International’s launch enjoyed Ruinart champagne, cocktails and curated delicacies from culinary director Joel Bickford, as well as oysters, martinis, margaritas and fine wines to complement dishes such as spanner crab pikelets and raw beef, black rice and shiso.

“We’re excited to officially open The International,” says Brett Robinson, co-founder and group CEO of The Point Group.

“It is not just a restaurant; it’s a social and culinary destination.

“With three exceptional venues – The Grill, The Wine Bar and The Panorama Bar – it is setting a new standard in big-city dining and drinking, marking the revival of Martin Place and the central CBD.

“We are thrilled to see it already becoming a cultural cornerstone of this lively and engaged part of the city.”
