The Old Commodore Hotel

The Old Commodore Hotel stands as a bold reimagining of North Sydney’s hospitality landscape—an immersive venue where history is honoured, community is championed, and the spirit of local legend Billy Blue is celebrated at every turn. Located in the heart of MacMahons Point, The Old Commodore is more than a hotel; it is a destination where stories unfold, connections deepen, and visitors feel instantly at home.

The transformation of The Old Commodore Hotel was grounded in a clear set of ideals—ideas that emerged through deep research, community exploration, and a shared commitment to restoring meaning to a historic local landmark. These guiding principles shaped every design choice, operational approach, and guest experience within the venue.

The Old Commodore Hotel isn’t simply another pub renovation—it represents a fundamentally different approach to what a modern Australian pub can and should be. In an industry where many venues rely on predictable formulas, themed décor, or short-term trends, The Old Commodore stands apart through its depth of story, its commitment to authenticity, and its strong sense of place.
