Qudos Bank Arena

Qudos Bank Arena is one of Sydney’s premier indoor entertainment venues, the room that the world’s biggest touring artists choose when they come to this city. Situated within Sydney Olympic Park, it has hosted some of the most significant concerts, sporting events and entertainment experiences in Australian cultural memory. The list of artists who have performed here reads like a catalogue of the past three decades of popular music.

Make the concert feel easier

For guests heading to Qudos Bank Arena for a concert, comedy show, sporting fixture or major live event, Crowne Plaza Sydney Airport offers a stay that keeps the night simple.

Arrive in Mascot, check in, have dinner or drinks at Biggles Bar & Grill, then travel across to Sydney Olympic Park when you are ready. After the show, return to a comfortable room away from the event crowds, with Sydney Airport close by for next-day flights and Sirocco available for breakfast before the day begins again.

Getting to Qudos Bank Arena from Crowne Plaza Sydney Airport

By car: The drive from Crowne Plaza Sydney Airport to Qudos Bank Arena takes approximately 20–25 minutes via the M5 and Homebush Bay Drive. Parking within the Olympic Park precinct is available, though it fills quickly for major shows (pre-purchasing a parking pass is strongly advised).
By train: Sydney Trains runs event-day services directly to Olympic Park Station, which is a short walk from the Arena. From the hotel, head to Mascot Station and connect via Central or Strathfield. Total journey time is around 35–45 minutes. Return services after major shows are well-resourced and run late.
By taxi or rideshare: Direct rideshare from the hotel takes 20–25 minutes in normal conditions. For post-show pick-up, designated rideshare zones are in place at Olympic Park.

Stay close to the airport, connected to the arena

A big night at Qudos Bank Arena does not need to end with a long drive home or a rushed airport transfer the next morning. Crowne Plaza Sydney Airport gives guests a practical place to stay before and after the event, with comfortable accommodation, hotel dining and straightforward access to Sydney Olympic Park.
