The sandy shores of Brighton-Le-Sands haven't gone anywhere, but the coastline is looking a little different following the relaunch of The Brighton Hotel Sydney – MGallery Collection. Moving into the former digs of the Novotel Sydney Brighton Beach, this new era for the Accor-led accommodation, aka The Brighton, is more than just a name change.

Over the last three years, the sprawling property has undergone a multi-million-dollar renovation, bringing the stay up to scratch with MGallery's reputation for luxe boutique hotels. Now, every space of The Brighton has been transformed, offering guests an experience that combines coastal comfort with European-inspired elegance.

Primed for tourists and business travellers alike, The Brighton's beachfront location is easily accessible from the city and the airport, with Sydney CBD just 13 kilometres away. Yet guests might mistake their surroundings for the Mediterranean, as 307 sun-soaked rooms and suites offer sweeping bay views and blissed-out textures and materials inspired by the hotel's coastal context.

Dining remains a highlight, with the hatted Ammos Brighton adding even more credibility to the property's Mediterranean-inspired ambience. Helmed by Greek-Australian chef Peter Conistis, dishes such as house-made taramasalata, reimagined moussaka with pan-seared scallops, and roasted eggplant bring a contemporary edge to age-old cuisine.

For something a little more casual, Coco's on the Beach is The Brighton's answer to Sydney's laidback sports bars. Set by the beachside and serving until 3am, expect easygoing bites and refreshing drinks that pair with live sport on big screens and post-swim gatherings around the pool table. Meanwhile, Sands Bar offers a dreamy terrace-side spot for golden hour cocktails.

From its idyllic setting, The Brighton also includes abundant wellness activities. Think indoor and outdoor pools, and a light-filled fitness centre complete with a rejuvenating sauna and steam room. The property will also become a go-to events destination, with the newly added Brighton Ballroom accommodating up to 600 guests, each relishing the ocean views and marble decor.

The Brighton Hotel Sydney - MGallery Collection is now open at 2 Princess St, Brighton-Le-Sands. Head to the website for more information.
