What a way to spend a relaxing afternoon at The Newport
Yesterday I had lunch at The Newport.
I'd been looking forward going back to the refurbished Newport Arms Hotel on the Northern Beaches of Sydney.
For those not familiar with The Newport Arms it sits on the stunning shores of Pittwater.
Merivale purchased the Newport Arms in 2015.
They employed over 500 local tradesmen to refresh & transform The Newport.
The Newport has always been a family hotel, where the kids were welcome in the sprawling beer garden.
Justin Hemmes, the CEO of Merivale, is no stranger to running Hotels. Some of the Hotels they own are The Ivy, The Establishment & the Coogee Pavilion. They also have many restaurants like Papi Chulo on Manly Wharf, est. Mr Wong's, & Queen Cho to name a few.
I think one of the reasons Justin’s venues do so well, is because each one is unique. They're not based on Cookie cutter formula like McDonald's. Don't get me wrong I'm not saying they're haphazard, or lack planning. They clearly built on great vision and systems that work.
My first impressions of The Newport did not disappoint.
