Parkroyal Parramatta has unveiled an extensive room refurbishment by renowned designer John Dunn of IDC Designs.

The redesigned rooms have been inspired by the natural beauty of the Greater Sydney Basin with patterned carpets that reflect Scribbly Gum bark, watercolour graphics that celebrate the native wattle, and a colour palette inspired by weathered sandstone whites, greys, and ochre hues. The latest enhancements include state-of-the-art smart mirrors, rain showers, and eco-friendly filtered water taps. “True to the Parkroyal brand, the newly revitalised Parkroyal Parramatta is designed to provide a seamless connection between guests and the wonderful Western Sydney community, offering an inviting space that fosters a sense of belonging,” said Parkroyal Parramatta Hotel Manager, Hans Joachim. “As our region continues to flourish into a haven that blends modern luxury with the rich cultural heritage of the community, we are excited that Parkroyal Parramatta is at the forefront.” The refurbishment comes amid increasing investment in Western Sydney, including the impending launch of the Powerhouse Museum in 2026, which will be the largest museum in NSW with over 18,000 square metres of exhibition space and anticipated to attract 2 million visitors annually. “We welcome the investment into the renovation of Parkroyal Parramatta and are excited for visitors to the region to experience this elevated offering,” said Western Sydney Tourism Taskforce Chair, Fazila Farhad. “As the third largest economy in Australia and fastest growing region in the country with a population nearing 3 million, Western Sydney is poised for significant tourism growth. “The new airport is expected to bring in 10 million passengers, presenting an opportunity to showcase the region’s diverse attractions, from historical landmarks and vibrant arts to culinary experiences and adventure parks. “Hotels play a crucial role in the visitor economy, providing the foundation for travellers to stay, spend, and explore. With major developments like the Riverside area and CommBank Stadium, Western Sydney is emerging as a must-visit international destination.” The hotel is undergoing final enhancements to the lobby and its MICE facilities which are expected to be completed in the coming months.
