Qudos Bank Arena

Qudos Bank Arena is where Sydney goes for the kind of events that fill the calendar early: international tours, headline concerts, comedy, family shows, indoor sport and large-scale arena performances.

Set within Sydney Olympic Park, the arena is close to Accor Stadium, ENGIE Stadium, Sydney Showground and Olympic Park Station, which makes the precinct feel active long before doors open. Guests often arrive early for dinner, meet friends before the show or stay in the area after the event before travelling back.

For those looking for accommodation near Qudos Bank Arena, staying in Macquarie Park gives the night a little more breathing room. You can be close enough to reach the arena easily, without needing to stay directly in the middle of the Olympic Park crowd.

Before the lights go down

A Qudos Bank Arena event usually has its own rhythm: ticket checks, dinner plans, transport timing, merchandise lines, the show itself, then the move home with thousands of other people. Planning the simple things first makes the night feel smoother.

Crowne Plaza Sydney Macquarie Park keeps the stay straightforward. Guests can check in, have a drink or meal at Bistro Bar or Bistro Sydney, then travel to Sydney Olympic Park by Uber, taxi or public transport. After the event, return to your contemporary room in Macquarie Park and start the next morning with breakfast on site.
