ICC Sydney

Just an 800-metre walk from Hotel Woolstore 1888, ICC Sydney is where the world’s ideas, performances and exhibitions take the stage. Positioned directly behind the precinct, our Pyrmont base gives you easy access to all the action without the bustle of the big-brand Darling Harbour hotels. It’s the ideal stay for event organisers, delegates and guests who prefer character, comfort and a little more breathing space.

One destination, three extraordinary spaces

ICC Sydney isn’t just one venue. It’s a world-class events precinct made up of three impressive spaces:

• The Convention Centre: Featuring Australia’s largest ballroom and 35,000 sqm of customisable event space with sweeping harbour views.
• The Exhibition Centre: A contemporary, light-filled hub for expos, product showcases and experiences with impact. The open-air deck on the top floor offers a rare pause between panels.
• ICC Sydney Theatre: With room for 8,000 guests, this world-class venue has hosted the likes of Elton John, Cher, and TEDx. The acoustics are designed to impress, and the program always delivers.

From intimate business events to full-scale productions, this is where ideas take centre stage.

Where ideas, culture and colour meet

Each year, ICC Sydney becomes the backdrop for a rollcall of must-see events: cultural festivals, comedy tours, corporate think tanks, and game-changing exhibitions. And during Vivid Sydney, the precinct glows with colour, creativity and live performances that spill out into Darling Harbour.

No matter when you visit, chances are something special is happening right here.

Flavours worth the applause

ICC Sydney isn’t only about what happens on stage. There’s a strong food culture threaded through the precinct. Head towards the waterfront for breezy alfresco dining at Planar, grab quick bites and craft beers at Harajuku Gyoza, or settle into a booth at Fratelli Fresh. Espresso bars keep the energy flowing between sessions, while cocktail lounges and wine bars around Darling Harbour are perfect for post-event unwinds.

For coffee between sessions, there are sleek espresso bars scattered across the precinct, and when the sun sets, Darling Harbour’s nearby cocktail lounges, wine bars and harbourside restaurants add even more options to the mix. Whether you’re heading to a keynote, a comedy set or a concert, there’s a flavour to match the moment here in Pyrmont.

Your ICC Sydney stay, reimagined

Whether you’re here to attend or help bring the event to life, Hotel Woolstore 1888 offers a boutique base just a short stroll from ICC Sydney — under 10 minutes on foot. Away from the bustle but close to the action, it’s a stay that balances comfort with character.
