“The Darling Square precinct continues to undergo a large amount of development and improvement and the area is thriving, particularly since the opening of the International Convention Centre.

“The complete renovation of this asset has been an exciting project for us. The location on the door step of ICC Sydney and Darling Harbour positions the hotel extremely well to cater to a diverse range of customers coming to the area for different reasons.
“We are delighted with the design that Batesmart have created and it’s been very pleasing to see it come to life. The repositioning of the product makes this the ideal time to strengthen our partnership with AccorHotels in Australia and move the hotel to a management agreement.
“We have confidence that the strong presence AccorHotels enjoys in the precinct will benefit the property and allow it to flourish and achieve strong performance over a sustained period.”
