Реставрация и открытие новых заведений оживляют курортный район Северных пляжей Сиднея

Sydney’s Northern Beaches district is a desirable coastal enclave defined by pristine sands to the east and Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park to the west. It stretches from Sydney Harbour in the south to the peninsula of Palm Beach in the north, and boasts a laidback community vibe, with parochial and deeply proud locals. The suburb of Manly is the centre of Northern Beaches action, with the Corso thoroughfare running through its centre, which connects foot traffic from Sydney Harbour foreshore to Manly Beach. With several pubs, bars, restaurants and shops lining the streets, the area is a bustling centre for hospitality, relaxation and connection, and an idyllic setting for socialising and doing business. Facing Manly Beach promenade is Manly Pacific Hotel, Sydney, the grand centrepiece that peers out through the pine trees towards the ocean. “We’re seeing more people turn their attention to Manly because it offers something different – it feels like a break without the barriers of travel,” says Dylan Cole, general manager, Manly Pacific. “You can arrive by ferry – only an 18-minute trip from the CBD – breathe in the ocean air and immediately switch off from the city mindset. “What we are really excited about is how much the area has evolved. “The dining scene in Manly has lifted dramatically, with venues such as our own Cibaria Manly earning a hat within just six months of opening and the revitalisation of Manly Wharf by Felons/ Artemus Group elevating the whole precinct.” Manly Pacific is a 5-star beachfront hotel that is part of Accor’s luxury MGallery collection. It features 213 rooms and suites, wellness facilities and a rooftop pool. For conferences and events, the property boasts nine dynamic function rooms for up to 550 people, including six conference rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows, a 36-metre ocean-facing terrace and a pillarless ballroom. The hotel also features multiple dining options, including Cibaria Manly with its Italian fare “from the salumeria to the spaghetteria to the bisteccheria”, which tells you the menu is diverse and authentic. Guests can also experience Cibaria Caffetteria and Gelateria, the French flair of Bistro Manly, and 55 North cocktail lounge. “At Manly Pacific, we’re part of Manly’s shift,” says Cole. “Our hotel is no longer just somewhere to sleep – it’s a destination in itself. “Between our event spaces, dining, wellness offering and beachfront location, guests can host a full experience here without needing to go anywhere else. “That’s why it resonates strongly for staycations and events.” Opening in late 2024, Felons Brewing Co Manly (pictured, at top) took over the former Wharf Bar on the waterfront where the ferry from Circular Quay sails in. An outpost from Brisbane’s Felons Brewing Co, the Manly venue is a busy spot for craft beers, cocktails, steaks, pizza and seafood. “Felons is elevating what locals have always loved about this destination, bringing fresh energy with award-winning beers, a creative produce-driven menu and a stellar live music line-up,” says Adam Flaskas, co-founder and director of Artemus Group, the owner of Felons. “It’s all part of building a legacy for future generations of Manly residents and visitors to enjoy.” In December 2025, Felons Manly opened its 700-person Barrel Room that is home to an 18.5-hectolitre brewhouse and can be used for events, dining and live music. “Manly couldn’t be a better fit for Felons,” says Dean Romeo, brand director, Felons Brewing. “We want to embrace that laidback surf village charm, providing space where everyone – locals, visitors, friends and family – can enjoy great beer and good times by the water.” Further north, up Pittwater Road, the spacious Dee Why Hotel recently unveiled its $3 million revamp, which includes three new areas: Mr B’s sports bar, Jade’s bistro that transforms into a private events space, and the refreshed main bar. The renovation blends modern facilities with retro charm and Art Deco finishes, and Jade’s is a greenhouse-inspired bistro area by day, and an exclusive private events space at night. Independently run by the Bayfield family since 1977, the renovation is a tribute to the original owner and patriarch of Bayfield Hotel Group, Neville Bayfield. Dee Why Hotel continues to serve its Sydney-famous burgers, alongside other pub classics, while its cocktail menu has been overhauled. “This is a locals’ pub at its core,” says Kaine Bayfield, chief operating officer at Bayfield Hotel Group. “During the years, the Dee Why community has changed and as Northern Beaches locals ourselves, we want to create a pub experience that resonates with long-time regulars and new visitors. “We’ve restored original elements and injected life and playful energy into every corner, and created spaces where you can cheer on your team in Mr B’s, linger over a long lunch at Jade’s, or just settle in for a great burger.” Even further north is Newport, where Silkari Mirage Hotel was rebranded on 1 December 2025 following a refurbishment. Silkari Hotels took over the 48-room property in late October 2024, with a vision to return this established hotel to its former glory. The property offers five conference spaces, beautiful views, a private jetty, swimming pool, indoor and outdoor dining, activity spaces and easy access to beaches and Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park. Its refurbishment took in the conference rooms, accommodation, restaurant and public spaces. “With the hotel’s stunning views, our aim was to create the perfect conference and event space on the Northern Beaches of Sydney for small-to-medium day and residential conferences,” says Jason Cook, director of sales and marketing, Silkari Mirage Hotel. “With only 48 rooms, it is the ideal venue where companies can completely buy out the hotel for their conference without needing to leave Sydney. “Our desire is to support local restaurants, team building and activity focused companies by bringing into the area a wide range of conferences and events. “Whether you’re holding a conference, training course, a company retreat, seminar, business event or private function, we offer a comprehensive range of meeting rooms to suit a variety of needs, less than an hour’s drive from Sydney’s CBD.”
