Introducing Penrith’s first five-star hotel

Five years in the making, the multi-million dollar precinct development includes a hotel, conference centre, wellness and fitness centre, restaurant and bar.

From 11 August 2023, Pullman Sydney Penrith and Western Sydney Conference Centre invite guests to explore the long-awaited $110 million precinct development, encompassing business, entertainment and leisure facilities. The sustainably-minded hotel is completely free of single-use plastics, local providers are used where possible, and charging stations for electric vehicles are available in the hotel car park. The location of the development places guests at a central base for exploring Sydney, the Blue Mountains or the coast, and has also served as a source of inspiration for architecture and design studio, Turner, who oversaw the construction.

Design of Pullman Sydney Penrith

The fluid shape of the building is inspired by the nearby Nepean River, and the polished metal ceiling panels across the underside of the building’s roof represent the way sunlight reflects upon the river’s surface. Landscape architecture firm, Oculus, managed the planting and garden concept for the project, selecting predominantly native species. The concept is completed by the First Nations sculpture that tells the story of the river’s importance as a food source to the Dharug people.

Pullman Sydney Penrith is the latest addition to the Accor hospitality group and features 24 junior suites, 96 superior rooms and 25 deluxe rooms, plus eight accessible superior rooms. Guests will have space to spread out in the junior suites, 38sqm corner rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows, a full-sized fridge, microwave and dining table.

In addition to the usual amenities, a hair straightener, clothes steamer, plush robes and slippers can all be found in each suite, while natural skincare amenities from Australian-born Hunter Lab and Nespresso coffee machines appear in every room.

However, the most remarkable feature of Pullman Sydney Penrith is the presence of a bespoke Sleep Therapy Menu on the in-room tablet, the first of its kind in Australia. A mere touch of a button allows guests to order everything from face and eye masks to aromatherapy pillow sprays, soothing teas, an extensive pillow menu, and a pre-programmed selection of background sounds, colours and room lighting settings to facilitate deep and restful sleep.
