Qudos Bank Arena

Qudos Bank Arena is one of Sydney’s premier indoor entertainment venue, 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.

Whether you’re coming in for a single night or building a weekend around what’s on at the Arena, Crowne Plaza Sydney Airport puts you in a position to enjoy the whole experience. Arrive calm, leave well, and wake up the next morning with the show still feeling recent rather than exhausting.

For Sydney locals, there’s a straightforward case to be made: a night at Qudos is better when the evening belongs entirely to you.

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.
