Gladius Hotel & Suites

Gladius Hotel & Suites is a boutique-style apartment hotel on Marsden Street in Parramatta, Sydney, with 37 rooms and suites. Formerly known as Holiday Inn & Suites Marsden Street, Parramatta, it has been independently run under the Gladius name since 24 May 2025. The hotel positions itself as a practical base for both business and leisure stays, with Parramatta Station and Westfield Parramatta only a short walk away.

Rooms are designed with longer or more self-contained stays in mind. Each includes air-conditioning, a kitchenette, private bathroom, free Wi-Fi, a large work desk, flat-screen television and soundproofing. Room options include king rooms, rooms with spa baths, an outdoor-patio suite and an accessible king room. Interconnected rooms are also available for families or groups, while daily housekeeping and a smoke-free setting add to the straightforward, comfortable feel.

The shared spaces cover the essentials without trying to be a full resort. Guests have access to a 24-hour fitness centre, a bar and lounge, an outdoor terrace with patio seating, an all-day dining café and concierge services. A continental breakfast buffet is available, and on-site parking is offered on a limited, pre-booked basis. There is no pool, and pets are not permitted, so the property is best suited to guests looking for a well-connected hotel stay rather than extensive leisure facilities.

Its Parramatta location is a key reason to choose it. Parramatta Park, Old Government House, Riverside Theatres, St Patrick’s Cathedral and several museums are nearby and accessible by public transport, with Westfield Parramatta within walking distance. The hotel is also close to regional offices including KPMG and Deloitte, making the work desk, Wi-Fi and concierge service useful for business visitors. Families can make use of interconnected rooms and the stated kids-eat-free offer, while solo travellers and couples have the convenience of a central base, quieter soundproofed rooms and easy access to Parramatta’s transport links. Gladius Hotel & Suites has a 4.4 Google rating from 291 reviews.
