Stamford Plaza Sydney Airport Hotel & Conference Centre
Stamford Plaza Sydney Airport Hotel and Conference Centre is the Mascot hotel with the pool, and the biggest meeting venue at the airport. Its 315 rooms and suites are 1 km from the domestic terminals and a five-minute walk from Mascot station, quiet behind 8 mm double glazing, with an outdoor pool and gym on Level 2, an Argentinian grill and a Singaporean restaurant, and 11 conference rooms for up to 500 people. It is the hotel for a family with a day to fill, a conference next to the airport, or a park-and-fly week away.
Guest Rooms
The 315 rooms are Superior and Deluxe rooms of 34 square metres, ten Raffles Suites of 70 and two Stamford Suites of 100, and the Deluxe rooms on the airport side look across the runways to Botany Bay. All have 8 mm double-glazed windows, free Wi-Fi, a desk, cable TV, a minibar, a safe, bottled water and tea and coffee making. Superior rooms take a king or two queens, so a family of four fits in one room, and the suites add a separate living room. Park-and-fly and airport-essentials rates bundle breakfast and parking with the room.
Breakfast and Dining
La Boca Bar and Grill is the Argentinian restaurant, with slow-cooked meat from the grill, lunch from 11:30 am and dinner from 5:30 to 9:30 pm, and it serves the buffet breakfast from 6 to 11:30 am. Taste of Singapore does laksa, satay and other hawker dishes from 11:30 am to 10 pm. The AV8 Bar, an English-style pub, is used for private functions and has been closed to walk-in guests at times, so check before you count on it. Room service runs 24 hours.
Facilities and Services
The outdoor pool, with a sundeck and towels, and the gym with Technogym cardio and strength machines, free weights and a pilates area, share Level 2 and open from 6 am to 10 pm. The conference centre has 11 rooms for up to 500 people and is the largest at the airport. A 24-hour concierge, an internet lounge and a hospitality lounge are on the ground floor, and secure parking is sold by the day or in park-and-fly packages of up to seven nights. Pets are not allowed.
Location and Transportation
The hotel is on O’Riordan Street in Mascot, 1 km from the domestic terminals and 3 km from Terminal 1. Mascot station is a five-minute walk: one stop to Domestic Airport, two to International Airport, with the station access fee at the airport end, and 10 to 15 minutes the other way to Central. The hotel’s paid shuttle runs to both terminals for about AUD 12 to 14 per person, a taxi takes three minutes to T2 and T3 and about ten to T1, and the drive to the city centre is 15 to 20 minutes outside the peaks. The train fee and the bus alternative are in the airport to city guide, and every hotel’s transfer is compared in the hotel transfers guide.
Nearby Alternatives
For a five-star room without the pool, the Pullman is a few hundred metres along the same street with day-use rooms. For a cheaper night, the Travelodge has a free shuttle to the terminals and the ibis budget has family rooms for four. For an international flight, the Rydges is across the road from Terminal 1. The family friendly hotels guide puts the pool in context.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Stamford Plaza have a pool?
Yes, an outdoor pool with a sundeck on Level 2, next to the gym, open from 6 am to 10 pm. It is the only hotel in this guide with a pool, which matters for families with a day to fill before an evening flight.
How does the Stamford Plaza get guests to the airport?
The hotel arranges a paid shuttle to both terminals, around AUD 12 to 14 per person each way; book it at the desk or in advance. Mascot station is a five-minute walk, one train stop from the domestic terminals and two from Terminal 1, and a taxi takes three minutes to the domestic terminals and about ten to the international one.
How quiet are the rooms at the Stamford Plaza?
The hotel is under the flight path side of Mascot, so it fitted 8 mm double-glazed windows throughout; with the windows shut the rooms are quiet, and the curfew stops flights between 11 pm and 6 am in any case. Ask for a Botany Bay side room for the view rather than the runway.
Can I leave my car at the Stamford Plaza while I fly?
Yes. Park-and-fly packages include a night's stay and up to seven nights of parking on site, with the shuttle to the terminals. Daily parking is also sold to guests who are not flying.
