This western Sydney high-rise is smack bang in a city on the up and up
Penrith is a city on the rise. This will come as no surprise to those who follow the National Rugby League competition, where the all-conquering Panthers have won the last four premierships. There's more, however, to the Western Sydney powerhouse than rugby league glory, and the Pullman Sydney Penrith shows how the Nepean River community is changing. Opened in August 2023 as the city's first five-star hotel, the glittering new build on Mulgoa Road is a sign of confidence in Penrith's future, funded by the Panthers Group as part of a transformation of the Penrith Panthers precinct to create a modern business and entertainment destination. The hotel also looks to benefit from the 2026 opening of the Western Sydney International Airport (about 20 minutes away) by bringing a new level of luxury accommodation to travellers who will no longer need to head to Sydney's CBD for a five-star experience.
