The sports bar at the Camelia Grove Hotel has been reimagined as a vibrant, social anchor for the venue—an atmosphere-first space that brings energy and clarity to the hotel’s ground-floor offering. The fitout balances contemporary pub culture with the building’s heritage character, using warm timbers, robust finishes and clean sightlines to create a setting that feels both familiar and elevated. Large-format screens are integrated seamlessly into the architecture, avoiding visual clutter while ensuring every seat has a clear view. The result is a room that’s purpose-built for game-day atmosphere without sacrificing comfort or design intent.

Behind the scenes, the layout was completely reworked to improve flow and operational efficiency. The new central bar becomes the room’s organising element, tightening circulation while enhancing staff visibility across the floor. Acoustic treatments, layered lighting, and strategically zoned seating areas help the space shift effortlessly from high-energy events to relaxed social use throughout the week. It’s a sports bar designed not just for spectacle, but for longevity—durable, inviting, and crafted to support the evolving identity of the Camelia Grove Hotel as a revitalised neighbourhood institution.
