The Unicorn Hotel, a cherished institution in Paddington, Sydney, is set to undergo a transformation as it changes ownership. The new managing team from JDA Hotels, known for their dedication to maintaining vibrant pub atmospheres, is committed to preserving the beloved character of this iconic venue. Celebrated for its lively ambience, The Unicorn caters to a diverse clientele—from locals enjoying a laid-back evening to energetic groups engaging in pool games and dance parties.
