As Western Sydney International Airport (WSI) prepares for its grand debut in 2026, the region is already setting the stage to welcome the world—with the Western Sydney Convention Centre (WSCC) at the forefront of this transformation.
Located just 21 minutes from the upcoming airport and surrounded by the energy of the Panthers Precinct, the WSCC has evolved into a complete, all-in-one destination for global conferences and large-scale gatherings. With over 4,000 sqm of flexible space, the venue is perfectly equipped to host everything from intimate meetings to exhibitions that welcome up to 10,000 guests.
Seamlessly connected to the luxurious five-star Pullman Sydney Penrith, the WSCC makes event planning easier by offering state-of-the-art facilities, flexible configurations, breakout spaces, and stunning outdoor terraces. With over 1,600 parking spaces, it’s ready to handle events of any scale.
The adjoining Pullman hotel adds a touch of indulgence, offering 152 stylish rooms inspired by the serene Nepean River. With advanced in-room sleep therapy, a high-end fitness centre, and standout dining options like Marcel Bar & Bistro and the vibrant Tori bar, guests can enjoy a stay that matches the calibre of the events.
But what truly sets this destination apart is the variety of experiences packed within the Panthers Precinct. With 17 restaurants and bars—including favourites like Squires Terrace Bar and Alexander’s—plus access to the iconic Evan Theatre and exciting attractions like iFLY indoor skydiving, Aqua Golf, and Cables Wake Park, the precinct blends business with leisure in style.
At the heart of its culinary offering is Executive Chef John Pugliano, whose global experience—from Nobu in London to Eaton Hotel in Hong Kong—brings flair to every plate. His interactive cooking stations and customised menus ensure that food becomes part of the experience, not just a feature.
WSCC is built for more than just space—it's about creating unforgettable moments. With advanced AV tech, high-speed Wi-Fi, vehicle access for exhibitions, and dedicated planning support, it’s a venue designed to meet every event need with ease.
"As we gear up for the WSI launch and look towards the international market, aligning WSCC with the Panthers Precinct as a one-stop destination was a natural step," said General Manager Charles Young. "We’ve built more than a venue—we’ve created a world-class experience that brings together entertainment, fine dining, and flexible spaces in one unbeatable location.”
With the majestic Blue Mountains in its backdrop and the world soon flying in next door, WSCC is positioning itself as the future of events in Australia.

Anantara Hotels, the luxury brand by Minor Hotels, has made a striking debut in Vienna, Austria, by transforming the historic Palais Hansen into the city’s first urban luxury resort. With this, Anantara brings its signature blend of Thai-inspired hospitality and European grandeur to the heart of the Austrian capital.
Originally designed by Baron Theophil Edvard von Hansen, the neo-Renaissance palace has a legacy spanning over 150 years, having once served as both a residential complex and a public administration building. Following a meticulous renovation, the building now offers 152 guest rooms and suites, including a lavish 270m² Presidential Suite. Complete with seven French balconies, a piano for private concerts, and a wellness space with a marble bath, the suite can expand to a sprawling 408m² four-bedroom configuration upon request.
The hotel is equipped with modern luxury comforts while preserving the architectural charm of old Vienna. Guests can enjoy high ceilings, oversized windows, and triple-glazing for comfort and quiet. The property also includes the 800m² Anantara Spa, three elegant dining venues, eight versatile meeting spaces, an executive boardroom, a private reading room, and a ballroom for up to 265 guests — making it an attractive choice for both leisure and business travellers.
This marks another major step in Anantara’s European expansion, joining a portfolio of over 50 luxury properties across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, Africa, and the Indian Ocean. Earlier this year, Minor Hotels also announced plans to develop a new Anantara resort in Egypt, further extending the brand’s reach in key international destinations.
With its Vienna debut, Anantara not only celebrates the preservation of heritage architecture but also sets a new benchmark for luxury hospitality in the city — where timeless elegance meets contemporary service.
In a playful twist on vacation planning, Marriott Bonvoy has introduced “Travel Roulette”, a digital experience designed to inject spontaneity into trip bookings—just as it celebrates a huge milestone: 1 million hotel rooms across the U.S.
Inspired by the viral “vacation roulette” trend on social media, the new initiative invites Marriott Bonvoy members to spin a virtual wheel at MarriottBonvoyRoulette.com for a chance to instantly win prizes, including stays at premium hotels and the grand prize of 1 million Marriott Bonvoy points plus a four-night stay at the newly opened Canal House of Georgetown.
Running from May 7 to May 26, this initiative brings excitement back into travel decisions, allowing travelers to discover destinations at random—fitting with Marriott’s recent survey that revealed 43% of Americans are open to booking unplanned or surprise getaways.
The campaign also highlights Marriott’s 1-millionth U.S. room, located in the Canal House of Georgetown, part of the fast-growing Tribute Portfolio. Nestled in historic Washington, D.C., this boutique property features design-rich accommodations, including specialty suites, townhomes, a library lounge, and a private courtyard.
Besides the grand prize, members may win Marriott Bonvoy points or complimentary two-night stays at select properties such as:
AC Hotel by Marriott Maui Wailea
ADERO Scottsdale Resort, Autograph Collection
JW Marriott Las Vegas
Moxy Downtown Los Angeles
W New York – Union Square, among others.
“Travel roulette embraces the excitement of the unexpected,” says Peggy Roe, EVP and Chief Customer Officer at Marriott International. “With over 30 brands and 10,000 destinations, we want to celebrate this milestone by giving travelers a fun new way to explore.”
With Marriott Bonvoy's growing portfolio, members can redeem points not just for hotel stays, but also for exclusive experiences via Marriott Bonvoy Moments, immersive local activities, or even luxury hotel products from Marriott Bonvoy Boutiques.
Ready to ditch the plan and let the wheel decide? Head to MarriottBonvoyRoulette.com and give your next trip a spontaneous spin.
