IHG Hotels & Resorts has partnered with Urban Property Group to open Crowne Plaza Parramatta, a 217-room hotel set within a new mixed-use development in central Parramatta.
The hotel is scheduled to open in 2029.
Located opposite Parramatta Train Station and linked directly to it, the property will form part of a complex connected to Westfield Parramatta. Facilities will include dining outlets, meeting and event spaces, and a rooftop pool with an outdoor terrace.
Parramatta has become Sydney’s second CBD, driven by investment in commerce, education, health, and the arts. Projects such as the Powerhouse Parramatta Museum and the expanded Riverside Theatre precinct are expected to draw more visitors. The opening of Western Sydney International Airport in 2026 is also expected to strengthen access to the area.
Matt Tripolone, IHG Hotels & Resorts managing director, Australasia & Pacific, said: “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.”
Crowne Plaza Parramatta will join other Australian properties including Crowne Plaza Sydney Darling Harbour, Crowne Plaza Melbourne, and Crowne Plaza Adelaide Mawson Lakes. The brand now operates 14 hotels in Australia, with seven more in development. Globally, Crowne Plaza has 415 hotels open and 144 in the pipeline.
