ibis Sydney Darling Harbour

ibis Sydney Darling Harbour is a 3.5-star economy hotel in Darling Harbour, positioned at 70 Murray Street in Pyrmont, directly behind the International Convention Centre Sydney. Its location puts guests close to the waterfront precinct, restaurants, entertainment and events, with Sydney’s central business district a short distance away. The hotel is also within walking distance of attractions including the Australian National Maritime Museum, Sydney Aquarium and the Star entertainment district, while Pyrmont Bridge provides a route towards the aquarium and Wildlife Park.

Accommodation is straightforward and practical, with Standard and Superior rooms available in configurations including queen, double and single beds. Most listed rooms accommodate up to two people, while a Superior room with one queen and one single bed accommodates up to three, making it a useful option for solo travellers, couples and small families. City and city-skyline views are available across selected room types. The hotel is non-smoking and offers Wi-Fi, air conditioning, breakfast, on-site parking and a 24-hour reception.

For food and drinks, ibis Kitchen provides an international breakfast buffet and dinner built around familiar favourites. iBar is the more casual gathering spot, with drinks available throughout the day and an outdoor terrace looking towards Darling Harbour and the Sydney skyline. The venue also has one meeting room, with capacity for up to 40 people, so it can suit smaller business gatherings as well as visitors staying for conferences at the ICC.

Getting around is relatively convenient, with bus stops and the Darling Harbour and Convention monorail stations listed close to the hotel, plus the Rocket Ferry nearby.
