The space was excellent for our group of 40. Our bartender was excellent and very accommodating to our needs around music etc
We ordered food from the bistro which meant the bartender had to run up and down the stairs to get the food which left the bar untended a bit. Only a minor thing but would have been good if the food could have been brought upstairs

A Fantastic Experience at the Occidental Hotel!
We had such an incredible time at the Occidental Hotel in Sydney! From start to finish, the team went above and beyond to accommodate us and ensure everything was perfect. Their hospitality was exceptional, making our experience truly memorable.
The food was absolutely delicious, with a great selection of dishes that catered to all tastes. Every meal was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. they nailed it!
What really stood out was their amazing team friendly, professional, and always ready to help. Their attention to detail and warm service made us feel welcome and valued throughout our stay.
If you're looking for a place with great atmosphere, fantastic food, and outstanding service, the Occidental Hotel is definitely worth a visit. We can’t wait to come back!

Loved the space, bar and the staff were super helpful. Pizza was pretty good and wedges were amazing.
It was advertised that there was a dance floor, but it wasn't really a dance area. At least we could dim the lights on that side of the room, so it turned out ok.
