Modern Sydney hotel in a heritage building

The newly refurbished Holiday Inn Darling Harbour is situated right between the bustling China Town and newly developed Darling Square precinct. Our hotel is just 5 minutes’ walk to the ICC International Convention & Exhibition Centre and 10 minutes’ walk from Central Train Station. Take a leisurely stroll through Darling Harbour with its many attractions such as Cockle Bay, Sea Life Sydney Aquarium, Wild Life Sydney Zoo and Madame Tussaud's Sydney. The hotel is also a heritage building constructed in 1890 and has since transformed into the largest Holiday Inn in Australia. The hotel recently underwent a refurbishment worth $ 15 Million. The scope of work included changing the bathrooms and the rooms to a more modern outlook and neutral colour schemes with an emphasis on technology and practicality. Part of the upgrade also included a renovated fitness centre, spa and laundry services. Keeping families at heart, we have come up with five new Suites designed to keep kids and parents equally happy with two separate bedrooms, one which is themed to keep the kids the amused and the other that lets the parents unwind. The refurbishment is timed perfectly with the development of Darling Square and Steam Mill Lane across the road which will include 80 new retail stores and public spaces for our guests. This has made our hotel become a top choice for leisure and corporate travelers.
