W Sydney will form part of Marriott International’s rapidly-expanding portfolio of 18 hotels in Australia, who have close to 20 properties under development in Australia including The Ritz-Carlton Melbourne, The Ritz-Carlton Perth, and The Tasman, A Luxury Collection Hotel, Hobart.
Built and developed by Grocon, designed by the award-winning architect HASSEL, the new-build hotel will transform Sydney’s skyline on Darling Harbour.
W Hotels Worldwide Global Brand Leader, Anthony Ingham has said, “Sydney – with its glamorous energy, cultural diversity and statement architecture – is the perfect match for W Hotels.”
“Wherever my travels take me, I am asked again and again when W is returning to Sydney, and I am thrilled to finally be able to answer the question.
“With the long-awaited return of the W brand in Sydney, Australia will now have three W hotels, along with W Brisbane and W Melbourne – demonstrating just how important and exciting this continent is for global travel,” Ingham said.
Richard Crawford, Senior Director Hotel Development, Australia, New Zealand and Pacific, Marriott International has said, “The boundary breaking approach to luxury from W Hotels is a worldwide phenomenon, and there is no better city than Sydney to shake off convention and shake up the way it’s always been done.”
“We are excited to have found the right location and the right partner who shares our vision. The property will be a game-changer for Sydney and an absolute market leader when it comes to luxury hotels in the city.”
Together with recent openings like W Amman, W Panama and W Shanghai, the Aussie openings will bring W Hotels close to its goal of 75 hotels by the end of 2020.
