White Horse Hotel, Surry Hills, Hotel building in Surry Hills, Australia

The White Horse Hotel is a three-storey public hotel at 381 Crown Street in Surry Hills, Sydney. Its top two storeys are painted white, with two rows of rectangular windows in dark frames and a dark parapet; the ground floor is dark with a large glazed front. A silver stallion sculpture by Andy Scott, made of galvanised steel in a rearing pose, stands on the roof.

The White Horse Hotel was built in the 1930s, when Surry Hills was a working-class suburb and the pub served as a gathering place for local characters. It was refurbished in 2004, when a new bar and brasserie were installed and Andy Scott's galvanised steel stallion was lifted onto the roof. Precision Group bought it in 2005 for $7.5 million, and in 2014 the lounge areas, restaurant, function room and rooftop terrace were updated.

The rooftop sculpture is a silver stallion in a rearing pose, made of galvanised steel by Scottish sculptor Andy Scott; it was built in Scotland, cut into pieces, shipped to Australia and reassembled on the roof in 2004. Inside, murals by local artist Ben Morris follow a "café racer-inspired" theme.

The hotel stands at 381 Crown Street in Surry Hills, on a corner site with the glazed ground-floor front facing the street. The rooftop terrace and garden added in the 2014 refurbishment are reached from inside the building. The silver stallion on the roof is the easiest landmark for judging the entrance from along Crown Street.

The silver stallion on the roof was made in Scotland by sculptor Andy Scott, cut into pieces, shipped to Australia and rebuilt on site. When it was lifted into place in 2004, the City of Sydney first had to be persuaded it was a work of art rather than an advertisement.
