IHG Hotels & Resorts today announced a partnership with developer-builder Urban Property Group to introduce Crowne Plaza Parramatta.
Scheduled to open in 2029, the 217-room hotel will be situated in the centre of a new landmark mixed-use development directly opposite Parramatta Train Station, seamlessly connected to the vibrant Westfield Parramatta shopping and lifestyle precinct. The hotel will offer unrivalled transport connectivity with a direct link between the station and the hotel, ensuring effortless access for guests and visitors.
Crowne Plaza Parramatta will feature an inviting selection of dining options, including a contemporary all-day restaurant and an intimate lobby bar, designed to create stylish social settings for guests and locals alike.
It will also offer flexible meeting and event spaces, a rooftop infinity pool with an outdoor terrace, making it an ideal destination for business travellers, event delegates, and leisure guests seeking to experience the energy of this thriving city.
“We’re delighted to partner with Urban and maximise this exceptional opportunity to bring our world-famous Crowne Plaza brand to Parramatta at a pivotal time in the city’s transformation,” said Matt Tripolone, IHG Hotels & Resorts Managing Director, Australasia & Pacific.
“Western Sydney is one of Australia’s most dynamic growth corridors, underpinned by record levels of infrastructure investment, a flourishing business and government sector, and the arrival of Western Sydney International Airport in 2026. Crowne Plaza Parramatta will be a flagship destination for both domestic and international travellers and an important and attractive addition to the city’s evolving skyline.”
Patrick Elias, Co-CEO of Urban said: “We are excited to partner with IHG Hotels & Resorts to bring Crowne Plaza Parramatta to life. This marks our first-ever hotel collaboration and will become a striking, defining feature within our mixed-use development when it opens in 2029.
“Parramatta is set to play a key role in Sydney’s future as a major city centre, and we are proud to be creating a must-visit destination that combines quality hospitality and unrivalled connectivity for those who work here or visit from home or abroad.”
Crowne Plaza Parramatta will continue the global growth of the Crowne Plaza brand, which has reached 415 open hotels and 144 in the pipeline properties and continues to expand worldwide.
