SYDNEY, New South Wales, Australia
The Hyatt Regency brand marked its return to Sydney with the debut of Hyatt Regency Sydney. The newly opened hotel provides an opportunity for Hyatt to build on its MICE leadership in Asia Pacific.
Hyatt Regency Sydney hopes to offer a dynamic spot where guests can relax, meet, engage and recharge. The hotel’s location in the Sydney Central Business District adjacent to Darling Harbour, provides an ideal setting for business and leisure travelers, and the property features facilities to host major meeting and events.
“Following its multimillion-dollar redevelopment, Hyatt Regency Sydney opens today showcasing a stunning transformation,” said David Udell, group president – Asia Pacific, Hyatt Hotels Corporation. “It’s a great feeling to welcome the return of the Hyatt Regency brand, which will be a key flagship Hyatt Regency hotel for Hyatt in both Australia and the Asia Pacific region. Guests can now enjoy many of the hotel’s facilities."
The hotel’s $250 million transformation led by owner M&L Hospitality includes a new 25-story tower, which adds an additional 222 guest rooms to the total room count making the 892-room property the largest upscale, full service hotel in Australia. Hyatt Regency Sydney features a 272-seat all day dining restaurant, and the open-air bar, set to open in late Dec. 2016, will provide superior views of Sydney.
Additionally, the hotel features more than 37,100 square feet of state-of-the-art meeting spaces for events, including two ballrooms that can seat more than 1,000 people, which are part of the new pillar-less convention center with panoramic views of Darling Harbour. The hotel also offers a four-ton car and goods lift, as well as a separate coach check-in facility for expedited registration for large groups.
