Novotel Sydney Olympic Park Hotel

Modern Comfort Steps from Sydney's Biggest Music Venues

Novotel Sydney Olympic Park Hotel offers a sleek, contemporary stay in the heart of Sydney Olympic Park. Surrounded by 640 hectares of lush parklands, this stylish hotel is just a short stroll from both Qudos Bank Arena and Accor Stadium—making it a prime pick for music lovers heading to a show. With spacious rooms, air conditioning, and an on-site brasserie and bar, it's the perfect base for your concert night and beyond.

Why Concert-goers love it

You can’t beat the location—less than five minutes on foot from two of Sydney’s major arenas. That means no need to worry about rideshares or timetables after the encore. While the area is buzzing on event nights, the parkland surroundings offer a quieter atmosphere for a restful sleep. The hotel’s late check-in from 15:00 is ideal if you’re arriving day-of, and while checkout is at 10:00, the lobby bar and public areas give you a place to relax if you're not in a rush.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends heading to a big show together
- Solo travelers catching a bucket-list artist
- Couples making a full weekend of music and relaxation
- Fans who prefer a calm retreat after a loud night
- Budget-conscious music fans splitting rooms or looking for value near the venue

Food and Drink Options

The hotel’s Boulevard Brasserie & Bar offers a full breakfast each morning—perfect for sleeping in after a late night—and a modern à la carte dinner menu. For something more laid-back, The Brewery serves casual meals and drinks in an al fresco setting, great for pre- or post-show bites. While there’s no 24/7 room service, the restaurant and bar hours often align well with event schedules.

Nightlife Options

While the immediate area is more about arenas than after-hours action, The Brewery provides a lively but relaxed atmosphere for a drink or two. If you're up for more, nearby precincts like Newtown or the Sydney CBD are a short train ride or drive away, offering everything from rooftop bars to live music venues.

What People Say

Guests rave about the unbeatable proximity to concert venues and the spacious, clean rooms. Many mention the friendly staff and how easy it is to navigate to and from events. The panoramic views from the 17th floor observation deck are a surprise highlight for many visitors.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that checkout at 10:00 feels a bit early after a late night. While the area is buzzing during events, it can feel quiet and limited in dining options during off-peak times, so plan accordingly.

The Bottom Line

If you're going to a concert at Qudos Bank Arena or Accor Stadium, Novotel Sydney Olympic Park Hotel is a stylish, walkable, and comfortable place to stay that puts the experience center stage.
