About the function space
Situated in the heart of the CBD, The ArtHouse Hotel exudes inner city retro chic. The heritage listed venue dates back to 1836 when it served as The School of Arts. Therefore it has a name synonymous with art, music and entertainment.
Elegantly refurbished to reflect its heritage, original features of this distinctive building are evident in the high arched windows, impressive ceilings and stunning fireplaces.
Your private bar will be well stocked, and delicious, house-made edible delights will be created for your event.
Our experienced and dedicated events team will manage your celebration from your initial enquiry right through to when your final guest leaves. We are on hand throughout the process to ensure your expectations are exceeded at every step.
