Accor Signs Pullman Hotel in Penrith, Western Sydney

Dark/Light Mode (26/10/22)  Accor has signed an agreement with Panthers Group for a new five-star Pullman hotel at the Penrith Panthers precinct in Western Sydney, Australia.

The 153-room Pullman Sydney Penrith hotel, scheduled to open in Q4 2023, forms part of Panthers Group’s landmark transformation of the Penrith Panthers precinct to create a new state-of-the-art business and entertainment destination.

The hotel is adjoined to the new 1,250-sqm Western Sydney Conference Centre (WSCC) which remains on track to also open in Q4 2023 and will boast a range of onsite facilities, including a restaurant and bar with private dining rooms, along with a ground floor café.

Pullman Sydney Penrith will service the WSCC, which will host trade shows, exhibitions, seated functions for up to 1,000 people, along with other major events.

Brian Fletcher, Panthers Group Chief Executive Officer, said, “Pullman Sydney Penrith will be a welcome addition to Western Sydney’s tourism offering and builds upon the existing and upcoming new amenities within the Panthers precinct and the wider Penrith locale. It is part of our ongoing commitment to deliver world-class facilities to the local community. This development will enhance Penrith’s reputation as a world-class event and tourism destination.”

The City of Penrith is on the precipice of a significant tourism boom, with additional major infrastructure works underway to further enhance the destination, including the upcoming Western Sydney International Airport which is slated to open in 2026 and is just a 30-minute drive away.

Accor also operates the Mercure Penrith, which is located adjacent to the Penrith Panthers precinct.

“Western Sydney is widely renowned as the engine room of Sydney and we are incredibly proud of our thriving hotels and incredible teams here,” said Sarah Derry, Accor Pacific Chief Executive Officer. “Pullman Sydney Penrith will offer leisure and business travellers memorable guest experiences and superb facilities and, once open, this hotel will quickly become the leading accommodation choice in Penrith. Sport plays a crucial role in Australian culture and with tourism and sporting organisations working together our guests have the ability to enjoy incredible experiences and service.”

The new hotel signing follows Accor’s seven-year deal for the naming rights of Accor Stadium at Sydney’s Olympic Park.
