Hilton has announced the debut of Motto by Hilton in Australia with the signing of Motto by Hilton Sydney City Centre.
The Motto brand blends compact design with communal spaces and locally inspired experiences.
Hilton’s seventh brand in Australia builds on a legacy that began more than 50 years ago with the opening of its first hotel in Sydney CBD.
Located on York Street, Motto by Hilton Sydney City Centre will occupy the former Bank of China headquarters. It 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.
Hilton Australasia Director, Development Tushar Raniga said: “The location of Australia’s first Motto by Hilton property has been strategically selected in the heart of Sydney’s vibrant food scene, placing guests among some of the city’s most iconic experiences.
“Motto by Hilton is redefining the city stay, bringing a fresh, dynamic approach to hospitality in some of the world’s most renowned destinations. The signing of the Sydney property marks the next step in this evolution, grounded in Hilton’s legacy of delivering exceptional guest experiences”.
Motto by Hilton Sydney City Centre's hotel’s lobby will double as a communal space for remote working.
In partnership with Invictus Developments, Motto by Hilton Sydney City Centre is set to open in late 2027, featuring a 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.
The food and beverage offering will include a rooftop bar.
Invictus Developments Principal Chayadi Karim said: “We are thrilled to partner with Hilton in bringing the Motto by Hilton concept to Sydney.
“This project represents an exciting opportunity to transform one of our flagship properties into a vibrant, urban lifestyle hotel, and we are proud to collaborate with Hilton to deliver a truly dynamic experience for guests and locals alike.
"It marks a significant milestone for our portfolio, stands as a strong testament to our proven conversion expertise, and underscores our commitment to expanding our presence in Australia."
