InterContinental Parramatta

The world's largest luxury hotel brand, InterContinental Hotels & Resorts, is set to arrive in Greater Western Sydney with the opening of InterContinental Parramatta, in partnership with owner Holdmark Property Group.

Scheduled to open in 2025, the impressive, new-build InterContinental Parramatta will be part of a vibrant mixed-use development that also includes offices and a ground floor retail precinct. The building itself will be one of the most exciting high-rises to grace the city's skyline, with the owners in the process of running an architectural competition to find a winning design.

The state-of-the-art hotel will deliver on the brand's signature InterContinental Life concept - where glamourand the exhilaration of fascinating places is mixed with international know-how and local cultural wisdom. It will feature 200 guestrooms, a restaurant and rooftop bar, Club Lounge, pool, gym, wellness centre and more than 900sqm of meeting space. With IHG's responsible business approach at its heart, it will be built to the highest green-rating standard.

While Parramatta may not spring immediately to mind as a luxury destination, it's regarded as the main commercial centre for the broader Greater Western Sydney Region and is Sydney's newest CBD, as well as one of Australia's fastest growing cities. With significant infrastructure projects in place, it's clear that the self-styled capital of Sydney's west is a highly sought-after destination. With the hotel located at the junction of two of Parramatta's most bustling streets - Church and Macquarie Street - itwill be perfectly poised to attract luxury leisure and business travellers to the city.
