Sydney Olympic Park. 5-star Pullman opened

The new NSW Minister for Tourism, Jodi McKay, officially opened the $70 million, 5-five star Pullman at Sydney Olympic Park, a 16-storey, 212-room hotel, opposite the Novotel and Ibis properties, which, along with the recently opened Formule 1 hotel nearby, are all managed by Accor Asia Pacific. The four properties represent nearly 700 rooms. The hotel is the first Pullman in Australia, the first 5-star hotel developed in Sydney since 2000 and the first 5-star hotel in Western Sydney. The hotel is aimed at the premium business, conference and leisure travel markets.
