The new premium hotel was formerly Courtyard by Marriott, Sydney North-Ryde, which has now transitioned to Crowne Plaza by IHG Hotels & Resorts.

A major part of the property’s rebranding includes the announcement of a significant refurbishment, which will commence in late 2025 and take in transformation of the hotel’s guest rooms and public spaces.

The first phase of the hotel’s upgrade includes improvements to its public spaces and updates to its restaurant and bar, and conference and events spaces – including an overhaul of the events menu courtesy of executive chef Sahil Sabhlok.

The hotel offers 259 square metres of meetings and events space, and can cater to small gatherings, board meetings, seminars and large gala receptions across six event spaces, including catering and outdoor barbecue options.

“This is an exciting time for Crowne Plaza Sydney Macquarie Park as we welcome our first guests,” says Toby Paul, Crowne Plaza Sydney Macquarie Park’s hotel manager.

“Our vision for the hotel is to create a place that appeals to hotel guests and the local community and business hubs in Sydney.

“Operational excellence will be at the forefront of everything we do as we focus on creating a service standard our hotel owners, guests team and community are proud of.”

During the hotel’s second phase of upgrades, public spaces and 196 guest rooms will be refurbished, including the lobby and welcome area.

Operated by Trilogy Hotels, Crowne Plaza Sydney Macquarie Park is located close to Sydney Olympic Park and Lane Cove National Park, and is near business hubs, premier shopping, diverse dining and outdoor attractions.

The hotel is also a short walk to the new Sydney Metro line, which is a 15-minute ride to the Sydney CBD.
