Arrival of Motto by Hilton Sydney City Centre marks expansion of Lifestyle portfolio in Australia
Hilton announced the debut of Motto by Hilton in Australia with the signing of Motto by Hilton Sydney City Centre. Motto is a lifestyle brand that is connected, culturally fluent, and always ready to go, blending cleverly compact design, vibrant social spaces and locally inspired experiences in the world’s most vibrant gateways.
Marking Hilton’s seventh brand in Australia, this signing reinforces Hilton’s continued evolution in Australia, building on a legacy that began more than 50 years ago with the opening of its first hotel and a history of introducing new hospitality concepts to the market.
Located on York Street in Sydney’s bustling CBD, Motto by Hilton Sydney City Centre will place guests’ steps from The Rocks, Darling Harbour, Sydney Opera House and the Harbour Bridge, and within easy walking distance of Barangaroo and the YCK Laneways precinct. Perfectly connected between Wynyard and Town Hall stations, the hotel offers an ideal launchpad to explore Sydney’s culture, dining, entertainment, and iconic landmarks.
Spaces at Motto link, flex, and transform to fit how guests and locals move through the day. Motto by Hilton Sydney City Centre will feature dynamic communal spaces that distinguish the hotel as more than just a place to stay, but a central hub of activity that connects locals and guests alike. The hotel’s lobby will double as a communal space for remote working, as well as a place to meet over a coffee or cocktail and good conversation.
Dynamic and thoughtful design sits at the heart of Motto by Hilton, inviting guests to gather, relax and plan their adventures. In partnership with Invictus Developments, Motto by Hilton Sydney City Centre is set to open in late 2027, featuring 152 rooms designed to capture Sydney’s distinctive character and local way of life. The hotel will offer a diverse mix of accommodation, including 96 standard rooms, 14 bunk rooms, 14 flex rooms, eight accessible rooms and 20 suites. For added flexibility and comfort, 56 rooms are able to interconnect – ideal for families and small groups.
Food and beverage sits at the heart of the Motto experience, serving as a natural social anchor. Motto brings together neighbourhood-loved coffee, the city’s most dynamic concepts, inventive mixology and a rooftop bar designed to elevate the social scene. Bar-led food and drink, communal seating, and locally driven programming create vibrant social moments that flow seamlessly from morning through night – from street-level energy to rooftop views.
