WHere it all started.
Universal Hotels is a family-owned hospitality and property group based in New South Wales, proudly delivering a diverse range of pub, bar, restaurant, and nightclub experiences across Sydney. Owned and operated by the Kospetas family since 1998, the group has built a long-standing reputation for quality venues, vibrant atmosphere, and community-focused hospitality.
With a portfolio of 16 venues located throughout Sydney CBD, Darlinghurst, Surry Hills, and surrounding suburbs, Universal Hotels caters to a wide range of guests — from family-friendly local pubs and casual dining to late-night bars, nightclubs, and entertainment venues.
Our venues are designed to suit every occasion. Whether you're looking for a relaxed meal with family, after-work drinks, a night out in Sydney, or a place to celebrate, Universal Hotels offers welcoming spaces backed by exceptional service, food, and beverage experiences.
In addition to everyday dining and nightlife, Universal Hotels also specialises in private functions, group bookings, and event hosting. Our venues provide flexible function spaces ideal for corporate events, birthday celebrations, engagement parties, and social gatherings, with tailored packages to suit a variety of styles and group sizes.
Driven by strong family values and decades of industry experience, Universal Hotels continues to evolve with Sydney’s hospitality scene — offering destinations where people can connect, celebrate, dine, and unwind.
