International Investment in Aus Heats up with Hilton selecting Western Sydney

Earlier this week Hilton Group announced the signing of Hilton Garden Inn Sydney Kingswood. This marks the sixth Hilton Garden Inn hotel for Australasia and the brand’s entry into Sydney, Australia’s largest gateway city. In partnership with Boston Global, Hilton will manage the newly built 140-room property in the heart of Western Sydney, which also marks the Hilton’s third brand in Sydney, joining Hilton Hotels & Resorts and Curio Collection by Hilton.

“As we prepare to launch our award-winning Hilton Garden Inn brand in Australia with the opening of Hilton Garden Inn Albany in Western Australia in late 2021, we are pleased to be expanding the brand’s presence into Sydney as we look to achieve our ambition to double our footprint in Australasia in the next five years,” said Guy Phillips, senior vice president, development, Asia and Australasia, Hilton.

“Hilton is thrilled to partner with Boston Global on Hilton Garden Inn Sydney Kingswood and looks forward to forging an enduring relationship. The hotel’s location in the heart of the growing economic powerhouse of Western Sydney, already Australia’s third-largest economy*, will cater to both domestic and international leisure and business visitors travelling to this metropolis,” he added.

The $60 million project will be built on about a 1700 square metre corner site at 32 Somerset Street, Kingswood, which Boston Global acquired for $6.6 million last year.

As reported in the AFR, It’s the third hotel development in Sydney being undertaken by Boston Global, which was founded by the former Macquarie global head of banking and real estate, Bill Moss, and incorporates a funds management arm, which manages investments associated with the Moss family.

Designed by architectural firm Rothelowman, the Hilton Garden Inn Sydney Kingswood will feature a full-service restaurant and bar, meeting rooms, gym, rooftop bar and ‘The Shop’, a retail store. 24-hour takeout retail.

Hilton operates 27 hotels across Australasia including the Hilton Sydney on George Street in the CBD and the newly-opened Hilton Melbourne on Little Queen Street.

When the hotel opens in early 2023, it will be located 64 kilometres from Sydney International Airport and only 16 kilometres from the new Western Sydney International Airport at Badgerys Creek, expected to accept its first arrivals in 2026. The hotel is also strategically positioned in the middle of Nepean Health Hub. One of Sydney’s largest health precincts, Nepean Health Hub is currently undergoing a redevelopment of more than $1 billion and is an important part of the area’s largest industry, health care and social assistance*. Hilton Garden Inn Sydney Kingswood will also be a short walk to Western Sydney University and close to Penrith’s key commercial, entertainment and cultural attractions, as well as to the foothills of the Blue Mountains.

When Hilton Garden Inn Sydney Kingswood opens, it will provide an upscale and affordable accommodation option to travellers and hospital patrons.  “With over 40 hotels in Asia Pacific and more than 100 hotels in the pipeline, our goal is to be everywhere in the region that travellers want to be,” said Jenny Milos, vice president, Focused Service & All Suites Brand Management, Asia Pacific, Hilton. “The coming years will be an exciting time of growth for Western Sydney, and Hilton Garden Inn Sydney Kingswood will allow visitors to experience the Hilton Garden Inn brand’s positive, upbeat service and value-added amenities.”

“We are excited to expand the brand’s presence in Sydney as we seek to realize our ambition to double our footprint in Australasia over the next five years,” said Guy Phillips, senior vice president of development at Hilton in Asia and Australasia.
