About us

Originally a fashion house, Merivale, owned by the Hemmes family has been established in Australia for 45 years. By 1996 the last of the Merivale fashion stores closed and Merivale became renowned for their commitment to Sydney’s hospitality and entertainment industry.

The Hemmes family, with Justin Hemmes as the Chief Executive Officer, owns and operates 11 inner Sydney venues, including, 12 restaurants, over 25 bars, 3 accommodation hotels, 10 dedicated meetings & events spaces, and a music company; Jam Music. Merivale has developed a mantra ‘life less ordinary’ and this is exemplified in all Merivale’s properties, activities and service culture.
