VENUE information
The Hillside Hotel — winner of two service excellence and community engagement awards— has set the scene for a myriad of important life events, celebrations and momentous occasions for many a local in the Northwest.
Now, as a newly-renovated space with a fresh feel, it has become a venue that attracts guests from far and wide with its eclectic mix of entertainment, sporting facilities, culinary experiences and nightlife offering.
Within The Hillside resides the stately Courtyard, a family-friendly bistro that serves an abundance of hearty dishes prepared by the gifted hands of head chef Chadd Kitto.
There’s also eight function spaces, five bars, a VIP lounge that includes TAB and Keno facilities.
On its second floor is The Rooftop, an expansive space with two large bars and a retractable roof. It’s home to the biggest outdoor screen in the Northwest precinct, making it the prime destination for all sporting events.
The Hillside attracts a large weekend crowd to The Club where, on Saturday nights, it plays host to a Retro Party DJ and cocktail specials.
The Hillside offers a courtesy bus home within a five kilometre radius, and is a mere hop, skip and jump away from public transport and taxis.
