Set to open in 2029, Crowne Plaza Parramatta will feature meetings and events spaces, dining establishments, a lobby bar and rooftop infinity pool with outdoor terrace.

IHG Hotels & Resorts has announced a partnership with developer-builder Urban to construct the property that will be located directly opposite Parramatta Train Station, and will feature a direct link between the station and the hotel.

“We’re delighted to partner with Urban to maximise this exceptional opportunity to bring our world-famous Crowne Plaza brand to Parramatta at a pivotal time in the city’s transformation,” says Matt Tripolone, managing director, Australasia and Pacific, IHG Hotels & Resorts.

“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 domestic and international travellers, and an important and attractive addition to the city’s evolving skyline.”

Patrick Elias, co-CEO of Urban, says the partnership with IHG Hotels & Resorts is a win for Parramatta.

“We are excited to partner with IHG Hotels & Resorts to bring Crowne Plaza Parramatta to life,” he says.

“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.”
