Momento Hospitality is set to open Bella LIVE, a warehouse-style entertainment space at Bella Vista Hotel, in August.

Following a multi-million-dollar transformation of its expansive 1029m² warehouse-style space, Bella LIVE at Bella Vista Hotel is expected to emerge as a vibrant cultural hub for Sydney’s Northwest – a region long overlooked by touring acts.

Engineered for scale and flexibility, Bella LIVE is equipped to meet the technical demands of major national and international tours, while also creating space for emerging and local talent to thrive. The space has been designed to be flexible enough to host a headline DJ set, stand-up comedy night, major sporting event, or major corporate experience.

“Bella LIVE is redefining entertainment in the Hills,” stated David Clifton, Momento Hospitality’s CEO.

“We’re bringing the soul of Sydney’s nightlife to Bella Vista – no commute required. It’s a space that’s premium but inclusive, future-facing and grounded in community. As the region evolves, so does the appetite for diverse, high-quality experiences. Bella LIVE is built to deliver on that.”

A flexible space

Designed by Archebiosis Architects, Bella LIVE combines sleek, modern aesthetics with an edgy industrial warehouse feel. The space is anchored by a 17.5-metre bar and a commanding 10x8m stage, flanked by VIP booths for an exclusive viewing experience. It has a capacity of 1500 people.

Design details include concrete-rendered finishes, glossy red accents, marble terrazzo benchtops and glowing linear pendants. The atmosphere is elevated further with immersive visual projections, a custom audio system, dynamic LED stage lighting, and moody, cinematic interiors that amplify every moment. Bella LIVE features three main spaces:

Raising the bar for suburban venues, Bella LIVE is also outfitted with two green rooms, complete with luxe finishes, private ensuites, and full backstage amenities. These premium spaces meet rider expectations for A-list performers, positioning Bella LIVE as a serious player on the national touring circuit.

For businesses and event organisers, Bella LIVE is positioned as a space where tech meets taste. It is capable of delivering strategy days, TED-style talks, gala dinners and private events with flair, flexibility and high-end production. With modular event spaces, full AV integration, and in-house event producers, it’s expected to be a new option within Sydney for corporate launches and networking nights.

High-energy entertainment

Bella LIVE’s line-up of live acts and international DJs intends to bring serious energy to Sydney’s northwest, ranging from boiler room techno nights to soulful Sunday sessions. Sports fans can catch UFC, F1 and Premier League action on giant screens in an electric atmosphere, while celebrity lunches, athlete meet-and-greets, and brand activations will add a new dimension to game day.
