The Westin Sydney

About the venue

See the exciting city of Sydney while staying at the premier five-star hotel, The Westin Sydney.

In the central business district, the hotel is nestled among renowned shops, restaurants, and theatres. The hotel is also only a short distance from such famous attractions as Darling Harbour, Sydney Opera House, and the Harbour Bridge. Plan an elegant event in the largest pillar-free hotel ballroom in Sydney, the Grand Ballroom. It can accommodate 1,000 guests for a banquet style dinner or 1,400 theatre style and can be divided into four sections. Make a spectacular entrance by coming down the longest escalator in any hotel in the southern hemisphere, surrounded by cascading water on black granite. At the bottom of the escalator, a pre-function area provides the entrance to one of the most sophisticated sound, lighting, and video systems available. Steeped in tradition, the Heritage Ballroom was once the site of the first public telephone exchange in Australia, installed in the GPO in 1882. This spectacular Victorian room with an 11-metre dome ceiling is capable of entertaining up to 300 people theatre style or to 260 people for a banquet dinner or wedding.
