Why it's worth checking out
The Imperial Hotel sits on Oxford Street in Paddington, one of Sydney's most stylish inner-east suburbs. With 463 reviews behind its 4.0 rating, it's a well-known landmark.
The appeal is a lively, characterful pub with genuine charm and accommodation — a much-loved Oxford Street institution, a great spot for a drink, a feed, entertainment and a fun night out. Its Paddington location, close to the boutiques and the city, makes it an easy and welcoming destination.
Venue offerings, events, accommodation and trading hours shift over time, and it gets busy on weekends. If you're coming for a particular occasion, a stay or a night out, it's worth checking current details directly before you arrive.
Spot Score
The Spot Score is our composite of five signals — two about the venue's standing with visitors and three about how complete and current this listing is. It is not a visitor rating and not a verdict on the food or the experience. The 4.0 from 463 reviews is Google's visitor rating, shown separately and never altered by us.
