Oran Park Hotel has officially opened in Sydney’s south west. The “entertainment oasis” is one of Australia’s largest hospitality developments, costing $50 million to build and spanning over 7,500 square metres.

The complex will serve and entertain the locals of Oran Park, a suburb in South West Sydney. The neighbourhood is rapidly growing in size, with roughly 100 residents moving into the council area every week. Oran Park Hotel will give them, and other Sydneysiders, a one-stop-shop to bars, restaurants and event spaces.

Plenty of Sydney hospo hotshots have inputted their flair into the new precinct. It is operated by Momento Hospitality, who are behind some of Sydney’s favourite venues, including the Nags Head Hotel in Glebe. The Bistro, which serves up Australian cuisine, is led by Executive Chef Amilio Abouna, formerly of Watsons Bay Hotel. Rumour has it his OP burger and herb-stuffed porchetta are very good.

The precinct is also the perfect venue for hosting events, including weddings, conferences and private parties. It has two private 40-seat cinemas (you can choose what’s screened), two ballrooms and multiple function spaces. There’s also a bottleshop, an open-air atrium and seven different bars.
