    As of the 10th October 2012, the renowned Quay Grand Suites Sydney rebranded to Pullman Quay Grand Sydney Harbour, signalling a dramatic expansion of Accor’s 5-star Pullman brand in Australia.Pullman Quay Grand Sydney Harbour joins two other Pullmans in Sydney – Pullman Sydney Olympic Park and Pullman Sydney Hyde Park (currently completing a massive upgrading programme following its re-branding from Sydney Marriott in May 2012). It also joins Pullman Reef Casino in Cairns and the recently rebadged Pullman Resort Bunker Bay in Western Australia’s Margaret River region.

    The Sebel Cairns, The Sebel King George Square Brisbane and The Sebel Albert Park Melbourne are all primed to take on Pullman branding within the next six months, which puts Pullman on track to becoming Australia’s largest 5-star network, with the brand expected to grow to up to 15 hotels by the end of 2013.

    Pullman Quay Grand Sydney Harbour is an outstanding addition to the network. Set majestically on the eastern shore of Circular Quay and overlooking Sydney Harbour, the Pullman is only steps away from the central business district and the city’s key attractions including the Sydney Opera House, the Harbour Bridge, Botanical Gardens and all the bustle of Circular Quay.

    The hotel boasts 67 contemporary one and two-bedroom suites, all of which come with balconies, separate lounge and dining rooms, gourmet kitchens and deluxe bathrooms, and offer spectacular views either of Sydney Harbour or the Botanical Gardens. Work desks and wireless internet are available in all suites, making the hotel a popular choice for business guests.

    The hotel offers fine dining in Quadrant Restaurant, while the glass-encased ECQ Bar was re-launched in 2011 and is one of Sydney’s most popular venues for sunset drinks and pre-show dinners.

    Pullman hotels are synonymous with providing quality meeting facilities, and Pullman Quay Grand Sydney Harbour proves this to be the case, with three unique function rooms, some with spectacular harbour views. The function space can cater for up to 140 guests.
