PARKROYAL Parramatta |
Even though it has been there for quite some time, it has just opened its new seven story tower and has renovated its original hotel rooms. The redevelopment has cost more than $25 million, so it is just like staying in a brand new hotel. There has been the addition of new guest rooms, meeting and event spaces and leisure facilities. The new extensions feature earthy timber, stone and glass that are very pleasing on the eye. It is stylish, modern and a wonderful addition to the hotel scene in Sydney.

What was a 192 room hotel is now a 286 room hotel. It is now the largest hotel in Parramatta. Its outside appearance is stunning. There are 40 new Club Rooms and 50 new Premier Rooms. We were fortunate to stay in one of the brand new Club Rooms.

The king-sized bed was very comfy with a good range of pillows to choose from. A restful nights sleep was enjoyed in the very quiet room which we had warmed with the air-conditioner.
Our room had a 48” LCD television which had a wide selection of local and cable channels for our enjoyment. There was a nice executive desk and complimentary unlimited fast Wi-Fi Internet access, personal digital safe, clock radio, iron and ironing board, and a fully-stocked minibar.
The ensuite bathroom was pristine, complete with fluffy towels and premium St. Gregory bath amenities. Bathrobe, slippers and hairdryer were supplied. The shower rose had adjustable water spray settings and provided plenty of hot water.
Club Lounge |
The spacious PARKROYAL Club Lounge, located on level seven, is distinctively styled with contemporary furnishings and thoughtfully appointed amenities. It offers an upscale experience and a range of privileges that we were able to enjoy. The host of benefits included regular refreshments throughout the day, twilight drinks and canapés from 5:30pm to 7:00pm.
We enjoyed the complimentary breakfast which provided a range of quality cereals, yoghurts, breads, cheese, hot and cold dishes, freshly squeezed juices, pancakes, and various styles of coffee and tea. It was pointed out that special breakfast items could be requested and brought up to the Club Lounge.

The PARKROYAL Parramatta has had five new meeting spaces added, which now means there a thirteen conference and meeting spaces in total. It is now the largest meetings and events hotel in Parramatta making it the perfect location for any business gathering.
The PARKROYAL Parramatta is close to the Parramatta River, the huge Westfield shopping centre, and the nearby Eat Street with its many wonderful restaurants and cafes. Travel to the PARKROYAL Parramatta is easy either by car, the RiverCat ferry service, or train. After we checked out we took the leisurely RiverCat ferry service to Circular Quay. This was an enjoyable way to travel to the city. As we glided down the river under the many bridges we passed mangroves, parks, old mansions and modern houses. It was like the Australian version of a European river cruise.
Parramatta is now the geographical centre of greater Sydney. Many new developments are popping up to make this suburb world class. Events such as Tropfest, and attractions such as the Powerhouse Museum, are relocating to Parramatta in the near future.
Our stay at the PARKROYAL Parramatta was not just an average hotel stay, it was a memorable experience. Next time you too would like a memorable hotel stay, consider the PARKROYAL Parramatta.
