Fans of the Four Points by Sheraton in Darling Harbour only have a few months to get their fill of the property before it becomes a Hyatt Regency.
Hyatt has agreed to takeover management of the hotel from 30 November 2016, when it will be completely rebranded to Hyatt Regency Sydney.
The unexpected switch in management will mark the return of the Hyatt Regency brand in Sydney, and see the property undergo a $250 million refurbishment and extension to reflect new management.
Changes to the hotel include a new 24-story tower, adding 222 guestrooms, making it the largest upscale, full service hotel in Australia with 892 rooms.
A new 272-seat all-day dining restaurant will be added along with a hotel rooftop bar and a Regency Club lounge with panoramic views of the harbor.
For the MICE travellers, there’ll be 37,100 square feet (3,450 square meters) of state-of-the-art meeting spaces, including two ballrooms that can seat more than 1,000 people.
Hyatt Hotels & Corporation Asia Pacific Group President, David Udell, said he expected the hotel will resonate with business and leisure travellers.
“We believe this hotel will be a leader in providing outstanding exhibition and function spaces so meeting planners can enable attendees to have a great experience.”
