Accor Stadium

Accor Stadium is one of Sydney’s largest major event venues, located in the Sydney Olympic Park precinct. The stadium hosts headline concerts, international tours, NRL, rugby union, football, major sporting finals and large-scale live events throughout the year.

For guests staying in Macquarie Park, Accor Stadium is a practical event destination with strong access by car, rideshare and public transport. It works particularly well for guests attending evening concerts or weekend matches who want to stay outside the busiest Olympic Park accommodation zone, while still keeping the stadium within reach.

Plan around the event, not the crowds

Event days at Accor Stadium can bring heavy traffic, road changes and busy public transport, especially for sold-out concerts or major sporting fixtures. Checking your ticket, gate details and event transport advice before travelling can make the night much easier.

Sydney Olympic Park is also home to restaurants, bars, walking areas and nearby venues, so guests may choose to arrive early for dinner or stay in the precinct after the event while crowds move through transport hubs.

Stay close enough, with room to reset

Crowne Plaza Sydney Macquarie Park gives guests a practical way to enjoy an Accor Stadium event without staying directly inside the Olympic Park precinct.

The location keeps the trip to Sydney Olympic Park straightforward, while giving guests a comfortable place to return to after the match, concert or show. For those travelling as part of a weekend stay, the hotel also keeps Macquarie Centre, Macquarie University, Lane Cove National Park and Sydney’s north within easy reach.

Bistro Sydney is perfect for breakfast the next morning, particularly after a late finish, while Bistro Bar gives guests a relaxed option before heading out or once they return from the event.

Making your way to Accor Stadium from Macquarie Park

Accor Stadium is approximately 15 to 20 minutes by car from Crowne Plaza Sydney Macquarie Park, depending on traffic and event timing. Taxis and Ubers offer a direct way to reach Sydney Olympic Park, making them a convenient option for evening events, group travel or guests who prefer door-to-door transport.

For public transport, Macquarie Park Metro Station is close to Crowne Plaza Sydney Macquarie Park. From there, guests can connect towards Sydney Olympic Park, with public transport trips generally taking around 20 to 25 minutes before the walk into the stadium precinct.

Make the event part of the stay

An Accor Stadium event can be the main reason for the trip, but it does not need to define the whole stay. Crowne Plaza Sydney Macquarie Park gives guests a comfortable Sydney north location with practical access to Olympic Park, on-site dining and space to enjoy the rest of the visit before or after the event.
