Pullman Sydney Penrith is redefining luxury and business travel as Western Sydney’s first five-star hotel. Officially opened in August 2023, the AUD 110 million hotel and its adjoining Western Sydney Convention Centre (WSCC) are part of a major hospitality and infrastructure boom in Penrith, one of Australia’s fastest-growing regions. Strategically located just 21 minutes from the upcoming Western Sydney International (Nancy-Bird Walton) Airport, the Pullman Sydney Penrith is poised to become a leading destination for both business and leisure travellers. The hotel’s unique offering includes 152 designer rooms, cutting-edge tech, wellness amenities, and two curated dining venues — Marcel Bar and Bistro and Tori.

The property offers a range of room categories including Superior, Deluxe and Junior Suites, with features such as floor-to-ceiling windows, full-sized fridges, microwaves, sitting areas, hair straighteners, plush robes, and slippers. Rooms also come equipped with Hunter Lab natural skincare products, Nespresso machines, and access to over 1,000 free movies via Foxtel Business IQ. Smart integrated controls and a digital compendium provide seamless guest experiences, with a unique Sleep Therapy Menu available at the touch of a button offering soothing teas, aromatherapy sprays, face masks, and an extensive pillow menu.

The hotel’s elite fitness and wellness centre, developed in collaboration with the Penrith Panthers’ High-Performance team, provides warm and cold sweat towels, premium workout equipment, and a custom 10-person sauna for detoxification and relaxation. Sustainability is a core focus, with the hotel operating free of single-use plastics, prioritising local and ethical sourcing, and offering EV charging stations for guests. Dining is at the heart of the Pullman experience with Marcel Bar and Bistro, a Bauhaus-inspired European restaurant helmed by Executive Chef John Giovanni Pugliano, who brings his international expertise including time at Nobu London. Tori, the stylish ground-floor lobby bar, serves locally roasted coffee, breakfast pastries, and light fare throughout the day. Both dining venues are named in tribute to the renowned architect Marcel Breuer, whose only Australian building is located in Penrith, designed in collaboration with Harry Seidler.

With the Western Sydney Convention Centre right next door, the hotel becomes an ideal location for conferences, exhibitions, and major corporate events, offering world-class service just minutes from a soon-to-open international airport. Whether travelling for business or leisure, Pullman Sydney Penrith offers a memorable and meaningful stay, blending world-class amenities, locally inspired design, and thoughtful experiences that set a new benchmark for hospitality in Western Sydney.
