Marriott International is tapping into strong demand in Western Sydney with the signing of its first Marriott Hotel in Parramatta.
Under an agreement with property developers JQZ, a 279-room new build premium hotel will be introduced as part of a large-scale mixed-use development on Church Street in the CBD.
Slated to open in mid-2027, the Sydney Marriott Hotel Parramatta will be the fifth Marriott Hotels and Resorts property in Australia, and the second in New South Wales.
“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 Vice President – Developments, ANZP, 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 Parramatta hotel is expected to feature an M Club Lounge, restaurant, café, lobby lounge, rooftop swimming pool complete with a pool bar, fitness centre, and extensive function and meeting facilities.
The broader development will also include residential apartments, alongside retail and commercial tenancies, with construction already underway.
“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 Chairman, 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 our 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.”
Commenting on the partnership, Marriott International Director Hotel Development – ANZP, Tristan Cooper, said, “It’s exciting to enter the Parramatta market, and we are thrilled to do so in partnership with JQZ through delivering our globally recognized Marriott brand.
“We look forward to offering a distinct point of difference to the city’s hotel scene, and elevating its growing and vibrant skyline, with the expected opening of the Sydney Marriott Hotel Parramatta, in mid-2027.”
