Overlooking The Calile are two of James Street’s most popular dining and bar destinations – sAme sAme and LOS (Land of Smiles) – a neatly stacked pair residing in Ada Lane.

We love a little bonhomie buzz here at The Calile. Take a sparkling pool, add a generous dose of quality music from the freshest DJ talent and the tableau is set for summertime magic. This summer, as temperatures rise, every Thursday til Sunday we’ll host Swim Sets for in-house guests, providing a quality local line-up […]
If time is not of the essence, we highly recommend setting aside some hours to treat yourself at our resident retreat Kailo Medispa. In truth, we recommend this even if time is of the essence. Kailo is a cruisy elevator ride to Level 1 and is located next to The Gymnasium. It is a private […]
Some may know us at The Calile as a place to relax, retreat and reinvigorate. Some may remember us as a place where milestones were celebrated, ideas came to fruition, and unforgettable memories were made. Whether it be a corporate conference, gala dinner, a grand (or intimate) affair for love, philanthropy, or business, no matter […]
Behind every iconic neighbourhood is a story to tell, and for us, this began in 2002, when the seed for the James Street precinct was planted with its first retail offering – the James Street Market.

Sometimes, one night may be enough. But sometimes, one night may just be the beginning. With so much to see, and do within our Calile bubble, arrival at our lobby should come with a gentle word of warning: you may check in and never want to check out. Inspired by our Stay and Savour package, […]
