Accor hotel group’s new 153-room Pullman Sydney Penrith property, part of Western Sydney Conference Centre, opened in August 2023, and features Penrith’s first 5-star hotel; a spacious conference and events space; a wellness and fitness center; and the upscale, European-inspired Marcel Bar and Bistro.

With a new Western Sydney international airport opening in 2026 and billions of dollars in infrastructure projects already announced, including the $71 million Panthers district development in Sydney’s western suburb of Penrith, the region is set to see a boom in travel and business. The Sydney suburb of Penrith is on its way to becoming a major business and leisure destination, with additional major infrastructure projects underway to further enhance its reputation, including the upcoming Western Sydney International Airport, set to open in 2026, and only a 15-minute drive away.
The hotel’s location offers travelers and conference delegates a central base for exploring Sydney and the nearby Blue Mountains and coastal areas.

The ribbon-like shape of the building was inspired by nearby Nepean River, and polished metal ceiling panels under the hotel’s roof reflect a shimmering light. Greenery is predominantly native species, with more than 75 trees and 8,000 plants, all maintained using sustainable watering practices.
Executive Chef Colin Chun oversees the culinary vision for Pullman Sydney Penrith and the Western Sydney Conference Center. On the first floor, atop a sweeping central staircase, Marcel Bar & Bistro is a Bauhaus-inspired design in primary colors and sleek shapes. The modern European restaurant offers cuisine celebrating the area’s abundant produce. Next to the restaurant is a stunning wine cellar where guests can browse, talk to sommeliers and choose their bottles. The name of the restaurant pays homage to the late Marcel Breuer, a renowned architect whose only Australian building is heritage-listed and located in Penrith.

Tori is a modern lobby bar offering all-day light bites and local coffee bean roasters and pastries for breakfast, before changing to a live music venue and evening drinks spot.
The property’s guestrooms offer natural skincare amenities from Australian firm Hunter Lab, Nespresso coffee machines and a selection of local brands in the minibars. There are also pre-programmed selections of background sounds, colors and room lighting settings to choose from for sleeping or wake-up ambiance.

May 27, 2025Plan a Legendary Gathering in Honolulu
Myths and origin stories form a powerful framework for the history of Hawai‘i. Marking the horizon behind Honolulu, the ancient volcanic formation of Lē‘ahi — technically a volcanic tuff cone more commonly known to the world as Diamond Head — provides a constant physical reminder of the tales that shaped the history of this location. While researching legends for my Hawai‘i-based Dark Paradise Mysteries series (Kensington Books), I learned the tale of the demigod Maui, who used his enchanted fishing hook to reach into the sea to heave the Hawaiian islands, including Diamond Head, above the surface of the water.
