Rising Sun Hotel

Swan St | Richmond | Victoria | Australia

About Us

The Reardon family have been involved in Melbourne’s hospitality industry for over 50 years. In this time the family have operated many hotels in the suburbs surrounding the CBD. Each has thrived, all vastly different to one another.

The Rising Sun Hotel was established in the late 1800’s, and in that time has seen many changes in ownership. Whilst maintaining its heritage and character, the Rising Sun has kept its traditional ‘pub’ feel, but still manages to keep up with modern standards. The hotel has been modernised where appropriate and is sure to impress.
