Rydges Sydney Airport Hotel to open next month
Sydney is about to get its first real airport hotel with next month's opening of the Rydges Sydney Airport.
Located at the arrivals court of the international terminal, rather than an adjacent suburb, the 4½ star hotel opens on Friday May 10.
Room-only rates will start at $200, with $250 packages including breakfast and wi-fi.
Rydges says that special glass keeps noise levels "lower than most city hotel rooms" so that direct views of the runway can be enjoyed in peace.
The 318-room hotel includes 11 conference rooms which hold from 10 to 190 people with "state-of-the-art audio visual equipment, video conferencing facilities, broadband and wi-fi access".
A flat-rate Quick Meets package will also be available for anyone arriving at the airport and needing conference facilities for up to four hours, and includes catering for up to ten people. Quick Meets rates span from $250 for one hour to $650 for four hours.
A free shuttle bus will also operate for guests between the hotel and domestic airport from 6am-11pm daily.
"The hotel is set to be a hub not just for travellers, but also interstate and overseas business guests" says Tish Nyar, General Manager for Rydges Sydney Airport Hotel.
"Being conveniently located just ten minutes from Sydney CBD by train and right next to the international terminal building, the hotel is the perfect location for people coming to Sydney and looking for somewhere to hold a meeting or function that is more easily accessible than the usual Sydney venues and offers great parking rates."
