The Brighton Hotel Sydney – MGallery Collection was soft-launched in late 2025 and is due to open fully in February 2026 with the completion of its bars and restaurants. A refined seaside sanctuary set along the calm shoreline of Botany Bay in Sydney, the hotel offers an experience of Australian coastal luxury, but leans into its Greek-Australian neighbourhood, where salt air, slow mornings and a buzzy Mykonos-inspired beach club make you feel you could be in Greece. With 307 rooms, including sky-high designer suites with private balconies, the hotel's soft coastal palette, natural textures and sprawling outdoor pool - complete with palm trees and private cabanas - make this the perfect spot for summer. The hotel also features an indoor pool, tennis court, expansive fitness centre, sauna and steam room. Dining at The Brighton is a sensory experience that connects land, sea and story through every plate. It begins at hatted restaurant Ammos Brighton, the property's signature restaurant helmed by Greek-Australian chef Peter Conistis, while Cocos On The Beach captures the energy of the shoreline, with bar bites and craft beers. Sands Bar captures impressive views over Botany Bay and offers flexible indoor and outdoor spaces including the seasonal adults-only beach club. Imagery available here
