About this space

Oasis Function Room in the Sanctuary Hotel is a plush, vintage‑chic private room centred on a pool‑table lounge.

Design: The room presents vintage‑chic styling with deep red ceilings, draped wall panels and patterned carpet. The lighting is low and warm from crystal chandeliers and wall lamps, producing an intimate lounge proportion.

Features: The room has a PA system and in‑built speakers for amplified sound. The room permits guest music and external DJs and includes air conditioning and natural light. The room provides step‑free guest access, wheelchair‑accessible facilities and accessible toilets.

Ideal for: Groups seeking an intimate, social lounge for relaxed standing receptions or casual, seated gatherings.

What guests say: The space is welcoming and feels more inviting than neighbouring pubs, and the room is supported by attentive staff and a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere.

Fantastic venue, central to Sydney CBD, close to public transport and accommodation. The food was amazing, everyone raved about how lovely it was and there was so much. The staff were friendly and could not be more accommodating. I would highly recommend using this venue to anyone.
