Ibis Olympic Park Hotel Shuttles

A popular hotspot for business travelers attending the nearby Sydney Showground as well as an all-in-one getaway for lovers of the Olympics, ibis Sydney Olympic Park brings modest digs to the city’s far west side. Basic rooms come with simple color palettes and minimal amenities, while suites add large sofa beds and room service from the lobby restaurant. The restaurant also showcases an array of local music alongside spacious terrace seating made perfect for hanging out after events from the attached conference center. Shuttles to Sydney Airport are not included on the long list of perks, although the nearby Olympic Park Train Station offers instant lifts across the region’s vast terrain. Make things simpler with private vehicle rentals such as sedans, vans and SUVs, or go with various meet-and-greet services like stretched limousines and taxis for the priceless perk of drop offs.

Once every part of the day is figured out in terms of transportation, look to what’s next through a variety of nearby landmarks. Extra close is Cathy Freeman Park, a staple of the Showgrounds due to its open lawns and scenic views of ANZ Stadium, and also made famous for its high-profile soccer matches and concerts. Also close is Wentworth Common, a fun collection of winding waterside paths as well as large beach volleyball courts, not to mention bayside views from the adorned debris of Shipwreck Lookout. Be sure to also visit Paddy’s Market Flemington (AKA Flemington Market), a massive warehouse space filled with local vendors selling vintage thrift items and the freshest of Sydney’s produce. Kick back with a restaurant close to the train station after it all, enjoying casual burgers from Ribs and Rumps or refined Australian from Bacar Restaurant.
