SKYE Suites Parramatta

Overview

If you're looking for a stay in the heart of Western Sydney, consider SKYE Suites Parramatta. A splash of luxury means you'll be sitting pretty during your stay, but the real charm of this bustling accommodation is its proximity to the city-best dining, drinking and culture on offer in Parramatta.

The rooms have the feeling of a new apartment with stylish but understated furniture, and walls dividing the bedroom from the kitchen rather than your classic open-plan hotel suite.

On arrival, you'll be greeted by all of the luxuries you can expect from any up-market stay: free wifi, espresso machine, a smart TV and a mini-bar packed with quality snacks and bevs.

The hotel's picturesque outdoor deck boasts a 25-metre swimming pool and adjoining spa — an idyllic spot for summer dips. And inside there's a modest gym and a series of conference rooms, positioning SKYE as a one-stop spot for everything from family vacays to business retreats.

As with any good hotel, you'll be tempted to spend your stay soaking in all of the in-house luxuries, but if you can tear yourself away from the pool deck there's plenty to discover within walking distance. Head up the elevator to the top level of the building for your first stop of the night — a drink at Parra's beloved rooftop cocktail and champagne bar Nick and Nora's.

After you enjoy burnt butter old fashioned with panoramic views of Sydney, our recommendation for dinner is Lilymu in Parramatta Square — one of our picks for the 20 best restaurants in Sydney. Other standout spots on your doorstep include the library and community space PHIVE; one of the best cafes in Sydney in Circa Espresso; and, of course, the towering Westfield Parramatta for your shopping and cinema needs.
