Royal Automobile Club of Australia building
Royal Automobile Club of Australia building, Heritage-listed clubhouse on Macquarie Street in Sydney, Australia.
The Royal Automobile Club of Australia building is a clubhouse on Macquarie Street in Sydney with five stories and three basement levels. Dark face brickwork contrasts with sandstone dressings across the facade, and the structure includes 29 guest rooms and parking facilities for members.
The club was founded in 1903 as Australia's first motoring association and relocated to its current location in 1928. Construction by William Hughes and Co marked an important moment for the country's growing automobile industry.
The marble entry hall and dining room with coffered ceiling show architectural details typical of early 20th-century gentleman's clubs. The interior spaces reflect the refined lifestyle that the founders envisioned for members.
The building sits near Circular Quay, making it convenient to reach by public transport. Visitors should know that facilities are reserved for members, though guest access is often available.
The building houses the Australian Imperial Services Club and maintains connections to over 200 reciprocal clubs worldwide. This global network allows members to enjoy similar privileges when traveling internationally.
