Merivale Giant has acquired the Newport Arms Hotel – one of Sydney’s most landmark venues. The acquisition took place late last night.

Newport Arms Hotel, located on the waterfront of Pittwater on Sydney’s Northern Beaches has long been recognised as a landmark among hotels, attractions and restaurants and is one of the biggest venues in Sydney. The venue comprises of a terrace restaurant, garden and bistro; its outdoor waterfront beer garden the biggest in Australia.

Newport Arms Hotel now joins Merivale’s growing portfolio of hotels, bars and restaurants across Sydney.

“The Newport Arms is undoubtedly one of Australia’s most iconic pubs. It is a spectacular property in a beautiful location and holds a very special place in the hearts of locals. Assets as unique as the Newport Arms deserve to be celebrated; we cannot wait to join the community”.

Justin Hemmes, CEO of Merivale, said.

Last night’s acquisition follows Merivale’s acquisition of the beachside Eastern Suburbs venue, Coogee Pavilion. Merivale’s founder, John Hemmes also recently passed away, leaving Merivale with a portfolio of over 50 hospitality venues, which the family continues to grow today.

Merivale will officially and fully aquire Newport Arms Hotel in May, with further details and plans for the site to be announced by the group soon.
