The Retro Hotel

Assessable Entry One




“The Retro is ideally located in the heart of Sydney's vibrant nightlife, nightclub, bar and restaurant district. The Retro combines fun, lively entertainment and fantastic service to deliver the best in hospitality and entertainment.
The Retro can cater to parties of 2 - 1200 guests and can be customised to suit your specific requirements. With its restaurant, 6 bars and rooftop terrace with views. The Retro is the perfect place to party for your next office function, product launch, Xmas Party ... or birthday!”  

Really cool venue, lots of space and caters to more than one style of music. The drinks are pretty average in price as well.
I think this venue would be perfect for a significant birthday.. 18th, 21st, 30th etc.
I can see the top level (terrace) being sectioned off for smaller events or opened up for the larger crowds. The terrace itself is BEAUTIFUL! It has a very classy look to it that almost seems out of place in that part of the city, overlooking Sussex Street. Not a particularly good view I know, but I can tell you from first hand experience you don’t even notice the milling of people on the sidewalk or the honk of horns when your up there.

What I think works in favour for this venue is that it prides itself on catering for every taste in music, from Retro Mania to Soul Train to Dance Fever, there is something for everyone from every walk of life in the one building. If you get sick of one type of music, you don’t have to trek from one end of the city to another. All you have to do is walk up (or down) the stairs.. or take the lift if your heels are just too big.

The atmosphere again is perfect for a celebration, with the bar and floor staff getting involved with themed nights by dressing up and staying (to an extent) in character. I could not think of a more perfect place to celebrate the a special night.



Being in the process of planning an event their currently, I am able to provide you with further insight into what the venue has to offer!
I met with the event and functions coordinater earlier this year and she was happy to take my questions and offered me some real-world feedback and knowledge.
If you are hiring out the top level of the venue (the terrace) you are provided with;
·      Your own bar and bar tender
·      AV & SFX including i-pod connectivity, projector and microphone are all offered free of charge
·      Security at the front venue door and into the event
·      Cabs can be booked through the hotel to arrive at a particular time
·      Catering and bar tabs are available on request
·      Some decorations are provided and what they do not have they are willing to source

All in all, a great team within a great venue in a great location!
