Canyon Hotel

Canyon Hotel is a proposed 72-room hotel and spa (plus 33 serviced apartments) on Braddon's former Bowls Club site, designed by Turco and Associates around a canyon-inspired courtyard concept. Developer Syzygy targets 2027 construction, but the scheme has faced resident objections and still needs development approval.

The place

21 Elder Street, Braddon, on the vacant site of the former Braddon Bowls Club.

The concept

Developer Nick Bulum's Syzygy filed an AUD 37 million development application in 2024 for a hotel and spa on part of the Elder Street site, designed by Turco and Associates around "the experience and sense of discovery that resembles the spatial characteristics of a natural canyon or gorge." The scheme comprises multiple connected buildings with earthy-toned, articulated facades and curved balconies around a landscaped internal courtyard, housing 72 hotel units, 33 serviced apartments, a shop, indoor and outdoor recreation space and a two-level basement for car and bicycle parking.

The proposal drew public objections during an April 2026 comment period, and Syzygy has since revised the plans to reduce the scheme's bulk and scale and rework the facades. Construction is targeted for 2027, subject to development approval; no operator has been named.

Dining & wellness

Plans describe a pool, gym, day spa and wellness space as part of an integrated health-and-lifestyle precinct; no restaurant or bar concept has been detailed.
