Sydney’s bustling western district will welcome two illustrious additions to its ever-evolving urban landscape this August. The Pullman Sydney Penrith and the Western Sydney Conference Centre (WSCC) are poised to open their doors two months ahead of schedule, marking a thrilling new epoch for the region. As the pioneering 5-star hotel in Penrith, alongside one of the most sophisticated conference centres outside Sydney’s Central Business District (CBD), the area is primed for a transformative wave of growth and economic prosperity.
Situated against the serene Blue Mountains backdrop, these twin establishments are masterpieces of contemporary architectural finesse crafted by the renowned Turner studio. Their vision has breathed life into an environment that mirrors the winding curves of the nearby Nepean River, with bold contrasts and vibrant hues inspired by the Blue Mountains.
