Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel’s location is a major plus — just a short drive or ride-share from some of Sydney’s biggest music venues. After the show, retreat to your quiet, modern room with a flat-screen TV and coffee-making facilities. The 24-hour room service is a hit with late-night arrivals, and the free on-site parking is a big win for those driving in.

Food and Drink Options

Rydges Parramatta delivers when it comes to food and drink. There are two on-site restaurants and three bars, including the popular Winning Post Sports Bar with indoor and outdoor seating. Hungry after a late show? Room service runs 24/7, and breakfast is available later in the morning — perfect for those slow starts after a big night.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself isn’t a party hub, it offers a great pre- or post-show drink option at its on-site bars. The atmosphere in the Winning Post Sports Bar is lively without being overwhelming. And if you're looking to keep the night going, Parramatta’s bar scene and lounges are just a short ride away.

What People Say

Guests love the free parking, clean and recently renovated rooms, and the friendly staff who make check-in and check-out smooth. Many reviewers mention the hotel’s convenient location near venues and transport, while others highlight the comfy beds and reliable room service as major pluses.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the area around the hotel is more business-focused, so there’s not a lot of nightlife right outside the door. Others noted that while the hotel is modern and clean, it can feel a bit quiet or corporate — not a bad thing if you’re looking to rest up after a concert.

The Bottom Line

Rydges Parramatta offers concert-goers a stylish, quiet retreat with all the essentials — close to the action, but perfect for winding down.
