A significant milestone has marked a new era for Western Sydney with the grand opening of the Pullman Sydney Penrith and Western Sydney Conference Centre (WSCC) this Friday, 11 August.
The brand new $110 million precinct that intertwines business, entertainment, leisure and events features Penrith’s first 5-star hotel, a world-class conference and events space, an innovative wellness and fitness centre, and the upscale European-inspired Marcel Bar and Bistro, accompanied by its counterpart, the Tori lobby bar.
With Western Sydney poised for growth, including a forthcoming international airport and substantial infrastructure investments, the precinct arrives at a time of strategic importance, while the location provides travellers and delegates a strategic base to explore Sydney’s diverse attractions, from the Blue Mountains to the coastline.
Brought to life by architecture and design studio, Turner, the building design emulates the fluidity of the nearby Nepean River with polished metal ceiling panels evoking the shimmer of light on water.
The precinct not only pays homage to the environment but also incorporates cultural significance with a First Nations sculpture and inclusion of the Warami Community Centre, fostering community engagement.
Internationally acclaimed executive chef Colin Chun brings his culinary expertise to the precinct, to bring ‘the best of the West’. He will oversee the food vision for the entire precinct, including Pullman Sydney Penrith, Marcel, Tori and the Western Sydney Conference Centre.
