Accor Stadium

Accor Stadium is one of Sydney’s largest and most significant major event venues, located within the Sydney Olympic Park precinct. Built for the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games, the stadium now hosts some of Australia’s biggest sporting fixtures, concerts and live events, from NRL finals and State of Origin to international football, Bledisloe Cup matches and global stadium tours.

When the occasion demands scale, Accor Stadium delivers it. The venue is designed for big crowds, big moments and the kind of event calendar that draws fans from across Sydney, interstate and overseas. For guests travelling to Sydney for a match, concert or major event, planning where to stay can make the whole experience feel easier from the beginning.

A smoother stay for major event nights

For guests travelling to Accor Stadium for a grand final, international fixture, concert or major Sydney Olympic Park event, Crowne Plaza Sydney Airport offers a practical place to stay before and after the occasion.

Check in at Mascot, leave time for a drink or early dinner at Biggles Bar & Grill, then travel across to the stadium precinct when the crowds begin to build. After the event, return to a comfortable room away from the Olympic Park rush, with on-site parking, airport access and Sirocco breakfast available before the next day’s plans.

Getting to Accor Stadium from Crowne Plaza Sydney Airport

By car: The drive from the hotel to Accor Stadium takes approximately 20–25 minutes via the M5, connecting directly to the Olympic Park precinct. Pre-booking event parking is strongly recommended for major fixtures and concerts.
By train: The most reliable option on event days. From Mascot Station, take the Airport & East Hills Line into the city and connect to the Olympic Park line, which runs direct services to the stadium precinct during events. Journey time is typically 35–45 minutes. Post-event train services are frequent and well-managed for large crowds.
By taxi or rideshare: A direct rideshare from the hotel takes around 20–25 minutes outside peak times. On event days, allow additional time and consider booking your return trip before you head into the stadium.

Turn the event into an easier Sydney stay

From packed stadium concerts to major sporting fixtures, Accor Stadium is built for Sydney’s biggest occasions. Stay at Crowne Plaza Sydney Airport and keep the experience simple, with comfortable accommodation in Mascot, practical transport links and easy access to Sydney Airport when the event is over.
