Published position

Crown Sydney is listed at Barangaroo, Sydney, NSW. The official name in the file is “Crown Sydney; hotel: Crown Towers Sydney; tower also ‘One Barangaroo’”. The official site is open hotel site.

The hotel count used here is the single on-site hotel, Crown Towers Sydney. The facts file gives 349 rooms and 82 apartments, but marks the room source as secondary. Barangaroo’s own wording says only “hundreds of plush rooms”, so the index treats the numeric room count as a secondary-source value rather than an official hotel-page figure.

The opening history is also marked secondary: the hotel was officially inaugurated 28 December 2020, the casino opened August 2022 after ILGA blocked the December 2020 opening, and the NICC conditional gaming period ended 30 April 2024. For wider comparison, see all ten profiles or the site’s 30-parameter table.

Hotel and leisure parameters

The room-category list is published in the facts file as Deluxe King Room, Harbour Bridge Twin Room, Harbour Bridge King Room, Opera Tower Suite, Opera Twin Room, Opera King Room, Studio Room and Opera Studio Room. Check-in and check-out times are not published in the facts supplied for this venue, so that cell is not filled.

Leisure entries are published for pool, spa and gym. The pool wording is “secluded tropical pool” on Crown Hotels, while barangaroo.com describes “Sydney city’s only infinity pool”. The spa entry is Crown Spa, with La Prairie and Subtle Energies treatments. The gym is listed under facilities, and a tennis court is also listed.

The waterfront parameter is present: Sydney Harbour, Barangaroo. The file also records private boat access at Barangaroo Pontoon for vessels up to 140 t / 25 m, with water taxis requiring no permit. Pet policy is not published in the facts supplied. Accessibility has a limited published entry: accessible parking via valet, subject to availability.

Dining, events and casino publication

The dining count used here is 10 listed venues. The fine-dining group in the file is a’Mare, Epicurean, Golden Century, Nobu, Woodcut and Yoshii’s Omakase. The casual group is Mahogany Lounge, Pizza’Mare, Sacrebleu! and Vista’mare Bar & Dining. Two restaurants are marked as coming: Én by Björn Frantzén and SEK.

Bars are published as CIRQ Bar & Lounge, Teahouse, Vista’mare Bar & Dining, a’Mare Bar and Hickory Bar at Woodcut. No theatre or showroom is published for Crown Sydney, so that parameter is scored as not published. Event venues are published as Crystal Event Spaces, Opal Suite, Pearl Ballroom, The Pavilion and Sky Deck, but capacities are not printed.

The casino-floor size is not published. The facts file quotes: “Crown Sydney Casino welcomes all guests. Membership is free”, with sign-up at the Crown Rewards Desk Level 2 or the Crown Resorts App. The index records the venue as a physical NSW casino only. Australia bans online casino play under the Interactive Gambling Act 2001.

Access, parking and NSW status

Airport distance uses secondary-source wording for Sydney Airport: “9 kilometres (5.6 miles) south of the Sydney central business district”. Crown’s own wording says the venue is “connected to local and international airports via Sydney’s rail network”. The city-location entry is “Located in the heart of Barangaroo” and is treated as a published location phrase rather than a measured distance.

Public transport is only partly published. The official getting-here page shows a bus map image. Barangaroo.com search-snippet material, marked medium confidence, says Wynyard Station is about a 4-minute walk via Wynyard Walk, with ferries F3/F4 at Wulugul Walk. Crown Limousine is listed for members, hourly from Pyrmont, Pirrama Road stop opposite The Star, 12:00–23:00.

Parking is unusually explicit. The published terms in the file cover valet parking for hotel guests, casual parking subject to availability, and a surcharge for vehicles over 2.1 m width; no on-site parking is available above 2.1 m height; self-parking is only for Platinum/Black Gaming Members; and no motorbikes or scooters are accepted. Compare access treatment across the index in access parameters.

Score reading

The score below follows the site framework: hotel 25, leisure 20, dining and entertainment 20, access 20 and transparency 15. A published value helps the relevant group. A blank, even where the venue may provide the service in practice, is treated as not published. The same rule is used on method and weights and in scores by group.

Crown Sydney’s strongest entries are hotel, leisure, waterfront setting, dining count and published valet rates. The lower entries are driven by non-publication of check-in/out, pet policy, theatre, event capacities and casino-floor size. Some access details also rely on secondary or medium-confidence sources rather than the venue’s own pages.

NSW licence status is separately recorded. The NICC decision of 23 April 2024 says “Crown Sydney is a suitable person to give effect to its licence and the Act” and “Crown Resorts is suitable to be a close associate of Crown Sydney”. The current licence document listed by NICC is “Crown Sydney Restricted Gaming Licence - October 2025”.
