Universal Hotels, founded and owned by the Kospetas family, has been operating in Sydney for over 20 years. The group owns and operates a portfolio of 13 diverse brands across seven venues in the Sydney CBD and Darlinghurst vicinity. Our philosophy and way of doing business is enshrined in our values. These values are lived daily across every level of our organisation. They are: Humility - Universal Hotels comes from humble beginnings. No one at Universal Hotels is too senior or too important to work hard and get their hands dirty. Respect - We respect each other, our customers, our communities and our venues. The level of respect we have for each other is the same – whether a cleaner or the CEO. We also see the diversity of our people as a strength and respect each other despite our differing backgrounds and personalities. Unity - Universal Hotels is a family business and that’s important to us. We show this by working together as a team to get the job done. - 1821 & Bar Odessa - Civic Hotel & Civic Underground - Hotel Downing - V Bar - Brighton Hotel - The Oxford Hotel - Kinselas, Middlebar & The Standard Bowl
