FULLERTON Hotels and Resorts has embarked on its first international expansion and taken over management of The Westin Sydney.
The property will rebrand and reopen as The Fullerton Hotel Sydney in Oct 2019, following remediation and repair of the hotel’s facade early next year.
The five-star hotel will be located in the historic Sydney GPO Building in Martin Place.
“We are delighted to have the opportunity to present The Fullerton Hotels and Resorts’ award-winning style of hospitality and hotel to Australia,” said Cavaliere Giovanni Viterale, General Manager of The Fullerton Hotel Singapore.
The new addition is Fullerton’s third property, joining The Fullerton Hotel Singapore (opened in 2001) and The Fullerton Bay Hotel Singapore (opened in 2010).
“The Fullerton Hotel Sydney will become a sister hotel to The Fullerton Hotel Singapore, both of which share a similar rich history as former GPOs,” Viterale added.
“We strive to deliver a luxury hotel that can further contribute to Sydney’s growth as an international tourist destination and showcase the beauty and heritage of the original building to a wider audience, both nationally and globally.”
The Westin Sydney was managed by Marriott Int’l for over 20 years and Marriott’s Area VP Aus, NZ and Pacific Sean Hunt thanked colleagues at the hotel “for their continued support, hard work & dedication to its success”.
The Fullerton Hotels and Resorts brand is affiliated with Preferred Hotels & Resorts.
