Brighton’s Beachfront Icon Gets a Stunning Makeover: Welcome to The Brighton, MGallery

Big news for Sydney’s south! The iconic Novotel Brighton Beach has undergone a spectacular transformation, relaunching as The Brighton, MGallery — a stunning new addition to the bayside that brings a touch of European-inspired luxury right to our doorstep.

This isn’t just a name change. It’s a complete reimagining of one of Sydney’s most beloved beachfront venues — and we’re thrilled to be among the first to host an event at the brand-new rooftop.
