The 279-room new-build hotel is expected to open in mid-2027 as part of a mixed-use development on Church St in Parramatta, after Marriott International signed a deal with developer JQZ.
Construction on the development is already underway.
The Sydney Marriott Hotel Parramatta will have “extensive” meeting space, alongside a restaurant, café, lobby lounge and rooftop pool with a pool bar. A fitness centre and an M Club Lounge are also part of the plans.
“The signing of Sydney Marriott Hotel Parramatta marks Marriott Hotel’s debut in Parramatta, a city experiencing significant public and private investment as it evolves into Sydney’s second CBD,” said Marriott International’s vice president of developments for Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific, Richard Crawford.
“With strong demand drivers across commerce, technology, education and the arts, Parramatta is a strategic location for Marriott’s expansion.
“We are very confident that a Marriott Hotel, with its legacy of wonderful hospitality, offering the benefits of a full-service international hotel, will have excellent prospects of long-term success.”
The announcement of the Marriott in Parramatta comes under two years out from the opening of the new Western Sydney International Airport at Badgerys Creek in 2026, which is expected to provide a significant boost in international visitation to Sydney’s west.
Marriott International has already made plans for the first hotel out at the new airport, which will be a Courtyard by Marriott property.
“Bringing the first Marriott Hotel to Parramatta is a profound milestone for JQZ as we expand our portfolio and diversify our assets into the hospitality sector,” said JQZ’s chair Jianqiu Zhang.
“Marriott’s legacy of excellence and commitment to service deeply aligns with JQZ’s core values of creating spaces that inspire connection and belonging, and their principles of integrity, inclusivity and community-first hospitality resonate strongly…[with] JQZ’s vision.
“Our collaboration with Marriott International represents a bold step towards positioning Parramatta on the global stage and our shared dedication to elevating experiences servicing the needs of our local community and international travellers.”
