Light rail and bus stops are nearby, with Central and Town Hall train stations both around 10 minutes on foot.4-star
PARKROYAL Darling Harbour is located on the southern edge of Sydney’s CBD, positioned just moments from Darling Harbour, Chinatown and the International Convention Centre.

Directly overlooking the leafy expanse of Hyde Park, Pullman Sydney Hyde Park occupies a prime position in Sydney's CBD on College Street. This 23-storey hotel sits at the junction of the city's business, arts, and entertainment precincts — with Museum Station steps away, Pitt Street Mall a 10-minute walk, and Oxford Street's restaurants and nightlife right around the corner.

Few Sydney hotels can match the heritage character of Oaks Sydney Goldsbrough Suites. Originally built in 1883 as the Goldsbrough wool store, this heritage-listed building in Pyrmont retains its magnificent neo-classical façade, original exposed ironbark columns, and tallowwood floors — a striking reminder of Sydney's mercantile past. Darling Harbour's attractions, restaurants, and the ICC are a short stroll away, with the Haymarket light rail stop just three minutes on foot and Central Station a quick ride away.Get in touch to start planning your next sports travel experience.
