Expected to open in late 2029, Crowne Plaza Newcastle will form part of Urban's landmark mixed-use development adjacent to Newcastle Interchange. The 171-room hotel will sit within the 43-storey development alongside 219 residential apartments and feature all-day dining, a lobby bar, more than 550sqm of meetings and events space including a 425sqm ballroom, a pool and landscaped public spaces.

Newcastle is undergoing significant transformation, supported by major infrastructure investment, population growth and an expanding business, events and visitor economy. The new Crowne Plaza will add a significant premium accommodation and meetings offering to the city as demand continues to grow across the broader Hunter region.

The signing builds on Crowne Plaza Parramatta, signed in 2025, and marks the next stage of a growing strategic relationship between IHG and Urban, spanning metropolitan and regional NSW.
