The locals’ local since 1873. For 150 years, Coogee Bay Hotel has hugged the stunning coastline of Coogee Beach. As a bustling seaside village grew up around us over the decades, locals made this place the heart of their community.
FROM THEN
TO NOW
There’s always been a playground in these heritage buildings. Coogee Bay Hotel was a school in the 1860s, before conversion to a hotel in 1873. Its airy spaces encircling a sundrenched garden proved perfect as a beach retreat in the 1920s, when Coogee was known as ‘Australia’s most beautiful seaside resort.’ The hotel became a community cornerstone as Coogee’s beachside village grew around it. Now owned by family-run C!NC, Coogee Bay Hotel is all grown up now, but this grand dame is forever young.
Where children first played, laughter and friendship still reign.
A VILLAGE WITHIN
A VILLAGE
In our central Garden you’re surrounded on all sides by Coogee Bay Hotel’s spaces to eat, drink, shop and stay.
We’re less a pub and more a village, with every doorway leading to a different destination: our flagship bar & Grill Marra, premium cocktail bar Arden Lounge, Balcony Bar above, legendary live entertainment venue SELINA’S, Sports Bar, two stunningly renovated hotels, premium conference & event facilities, and independent bottle stores - Bottle Shop At The Bay, and The Barrel.
The final piece in the jigsaw: the golden sands of Coogee beach, our beautiful front yard.
Multi award-winnng team & venue
We put our heart and soul into everything we do. That’s why we’re proud to have been nominated for an extensive range of prestigious awards from some of Australia’s leading hotel and hospitality associations since 1993.
