New Year’s Eve at Darling Harbour
Start the year bright
Make your last night of the year something special. On Wednesday 31 December 2025, Sydney’s waterside playground comes alive for a celebration you’ll remember. Situated just moments from Hotel Woolstore 1888 Sydney, the heart of Pyrmont offers you unfettered access to the festivities, comfort and convenient luxury.
A two-part fireworks show
Darling Harbour will sparkle twice this evening — first at 9pm, then again at midnight. Both displays launch over Cockle Bay, offering one of the most iconic vantage points in the city. No tickets required to join the crowd, just arrive early and find your spot.
Because the space is available on a first-come basis and will close when full, it’s wise to plan your route down and choose your viewing time.
Dinner and countdown at Percy
Begin your evening in style inside the hotel at Percy, where elegance meets ease. Choose from two seating times — 18:00 or 20:30 — for a three-course shared menu topped off with a complimentary glass of House of Arras Grand Vintage 2015. Our Accor Plus members receive 10% off by presenting a valid membership at payment.
Arrive, relax, and savour each moment — dinner, drinks, conversation — and then step out when you’re ready for the main show.
Stay nearby, celebrate in comfort
While the fireworks fill the sky, you’re already at home just steps from the action. After the midnight display, wander back to your room in Pyrmont without the hassle of transport or crowds.
The next morning, enjoy coffee and breakfast at Percy and take a leisurely walk along the harbour before you head off.
Whether you’re treating the family or enjoying a quiet getaway for two, our boutique heritage hotel places you at the heart of it all.
