Momento Hospitality

What Momento Hospitality does

Momento Hospitality is a privately held, family-owned hospitality group operating 9+ owned venues across Sydney's North West and South West regions, led by the Colosimo family under CEO Marcello Colosimo. Its portfolio spans large-format entertainment hotels (Oran Park Hotel, Bella Vista Hotel, Hillside Hotel, The Governor Hotel, Hudson Hotel, Mullane's Hotel, The Duke of Dural) and specialty sub-brands including Sarino's Italian restaurant and bar, Sophia's events space, Jinja Asian-inspired rooftop bar, Papi's Pizzeria, AllStars Sports Bar, Fire & Brimstone BBQ, and Bella Garden. The group monetises through a diversified mix of food and beverage service across multiple venue formats, licensed gaming operations under a dedicated Group Gaming Manager, function and corporate event hire, external catering via Momento Catering, online ordering and home delivery through Bella XO, and small-batch spirit production at Hills Distilling Co. in Rouse Hill.

Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer and event-driven: customers visit owned venues for dining, drinks, sports viewing, weddings, corporate functions, and community events, with marketing concentrated on organic social media, community sports club sponsorships, a RewardMe loyalty program, and earned media. Operational technology emphasises sustainability and efficiency — ORCA food waste conversion at Bella Vista Hotel, 277-panel solar installation at the Australian Hotel and Brewery, waterless urinals, first-to-market craft canning, and EV charging via a partnership with EVSE — with no proprietary technology platform, no public API, and bookings delivered through third-party systems.

The corporate entity is Coranton Pty Ltd (ACN 001 957 384), trading as Momento Hospitality, headquartered at 17 Lexington Drive, Bella Vista, NSW. The group generates employment described as 'hundreds of local jobs' across venues, holds multiple AHA NSW industry awards (2022 Metropolitan Hotel of the Year, Best Wine List, Best Unique Bar Experience), and channels community investment through the Momento Foundation's 30+ charitable initiatives and partnerships with OzHarvest, Ronald McDonald House, and Women's Community Shelters.

Direct peers

• Merivale: Sydney-based multi-venue hospitality group operating hotels, pubs, restaurants, bars, and event spaces across the Sydney metro area. Highly comparable to Momento's diversified venue portfolio and community-rooted operating model.
• Applejack Hospitality: Sydney-based boutique hospitality group operating pubs, restaurants, and event venues. Overlaps with Momento on multi-venue portfolio, Sydney geographic focus, and integrated F&B/event offering.
• Dransfield Hospitality: Sydney hospitality group operating a portfolio of pubs and venues including operations in Northwest Sydney. Overlaps with Momento on multi-venue format and Hills/Northwest geographic exposure.
• Redcape Hotel Group: ASX-listed pub operator with a portfolio of community-focused hotels across NSW and QLD. Comparable on pub/hotel operating model, gaming exposure, and community-led venue positioning.
• Solotel: Sydney hospitality group operating a portfolio of pubs, bars, and restaurants across Sydney and Melbourne. Comparable multi-venue model with similar venue types (pubs, rooftop bars, function spaces) and reliance on Sydney catchment.
• Schwartz Group: Family-owned multi-venue hospitality group operating pubs, clubs, and event spaces in Australia. Closely mirrors Momento's family ownership, multi-venue model, and integrated F&B/gaming/events offering.

Emerging players

• WhiteRabbit Projects: Sydney hospitality group behind several venues including entertainment and dining precincts. Shares Momento's appetite for large-format multi-outlet precincts and integrated entertainment (cinemas, bars) under one roof.
• Petersham Nurseries / Somerset: Sydney hospitality and dining brand with multiple venues. Comparable on Sydney market presence and high-end dining sub-brand diversification, though more focused on food-led concepts than pub/banquet scale.

Others

• Archie Rose Distilling Co. Australian craft distillery producing gin, vodka, and whisky. Comparable to Hills Distilling Co. on craft spirits production model, though Archie Rose operates as a standalone brand rather than a hospitality-vertical integration play.

Broad incumbents

• ALH Group (Australian Leisure and Hospitality): Australia's largest pub and hotel operator, owned by Endeavour Group, with hundreds of venues nationwide. Directly competes with Momento across suburban pubs, gaming, and food service but at vastly larger scale and with broader geographic coverage.
