Novotel Sydney Parramatta

Modern Comfort in the Heart of Parramatta

Novotel Sydney Parramatta is a stylish, contemporary hotel located right on Church Street, placing you in the vibrant heart of Parramatta. Just 14 miles west of downtown Sydney, this hotel offers a smart mix of city convenience and riverside relaxation. With spacious rooms and sleek suites (some featuring spa baths), it’s a solid choice whether you're in town for a major gig or a weekend of exploring.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is everything—and Novotel Sydney Parramatta is just a short walk from Comm Bank Stadium and Riverside Theater, making it perfect for catching your favorite artist without the stress of long commutes. After the show, retreat to a quiet room or take a soak in the spa bath if you’ve booked a suite. Late check-in from 14:00 makes arriving before the gig easy, and with check-out at 11:00, you’ve got time to sleep in the next morning.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends heading to a big performance at nearby venues
• Solo travelers ticking off that once-in-a-lifetime show
• Couples combining music with a stylish weekend escape
• Fans wanting a quieter post-concert recovery just outside the Sydney CBD
• Budget-conscious music lovers wanting value without sacrificing comfort

Food and Drink Options

The on-site 350 Restaurant & Bar serves up daily breakfast and dinner with views of the Parramatta River—perfect for a pre-show bite or post-show unwind. While 24/7 room service isn’t available, there are plenty of late-night eateries within walking distance on Church Street. Breakfast is available the next morning, so you can fuel up after a late night.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself doesn’t host live music, its location means you’re minutes from bars, lounges, and clubs in the Parramatta area. The in-house bar offers a relaxed vibe and is great for a quiet drink with friends before heading out. For more action, Sydney Olympic Park is just a quick drive or ride away.

What People Say

Guests consistently praise the location, spacious rooms, and friendly staff. Many concert-goers mention how easy it was to walk to venues and enjoy a stress-free evening. The outdoor pool and steam room are often highlighted as great post-show perks, and the riverfront views from the bar are a pleasant surprise.

Areas for Improvement

Some reviewers note that the decor in certain rooms feels a bit dated, and parking can be limited during busy weekends. While the hotel is not in the center of Sydney, most agree that the proximity to Parramatta venues makes up for it.

The Bottom Line

If you're heading to a concert in Western Sydney, Novotel Sydney Parramatta is a smart, comfortable base with great access to venues and post-show relaxation perks.
