Pitt Street Mall

Sydney’s retail heartland sits at the centre of the CBD and from Crowne Plaza Sydney Airport, it is closer than most visitors realise.

Pitt Street Mall is the city’s busiest and most celebrated shopping precinct, anchored by Westfield Sydney and the historic Strand Arcade at one end and connecting through to the Queen Victoria Building, one of the finest examples of Romanesque Revival architecture in the world and a shopping experience unlike any other in the country. Between them, the full breadth of Australian and international retail is represented, from flagship stores and department stores to independent boutiques, jewellers and specialty retailers.

The surrounding streets extend the offer considerably. The MLC Centre on Martin Place, Castlereagh Street’s luxury precinct and the laneways connecting Pitt and George Streets add depth and variety to what is already one of the Southern Hemisphere’s most complete retail destinations.

Shop the city, stay close to the airport

For guests planning a full day in the CBD, Crowne Plaza Sydney Airport gives you easy access to Pitt Street Mall without needing to stay in the middle of the city. Start with breakfast at Sirocco, travel in from nearby Mascot Station, then return to a comfortable room once the bags are full and the day is done. For a quieter evening, in-room dining keeps dinner simple, while Biggles Bar & Grill is close at hand for a relaxed meal or drink before your next day in Sydney.
