The Oxford Hotel

Opening Hours

The Vibe

• Layout: Four distinct levels create different moods - Oxford Bar on the ground floor with bistro dining and a large terrace, Oxford Underground in the basement for private events, Ginger's cocktail bar on level one with leather booths and red curtains and the elegant Polo Lounge on top with its own bar, balcony and fireplace.
• Atmosphere: This is community central for Oxford Street's LGBTQIA+ scene, with weekly drag shows and DJs keeping the energy high most nights. The retro New York styling on level one contrasts with the more polished top-floor lounge, giving regulars different spaces depending on their mood.
• Crowd: Draws a loyal local following who know which level suits their night - ground floor for casual drinks and bistro meals, upstairs for cocktails and shows, top floor for something more intimate.

The Neighbourhood

• Location: Right on Oxford Street at number 134, placing it squarely in the heart of Darlinghurst's main strip between Hyde Park and Taylor Square.
• The strip: Oxford Street remains Sydney's most recognised LGBTQIA+ precinct and The Oxford Hotel sits as one of its cornerstone venues alongside other community institutions. The terrace gives street-level visibility to the foot traffic moving between the bars, clubs and late-night spots that define this stretch.
• Getting there: A short walk from Museum Station puts you right on the strip, with the venue's multi-storey setup making it hard to miss among the heritage terraces and shopfronts that line this section of Oxford Street.
