Metro Hotel on Pitt, a boutique 4-star hotel situated in the heart of Sydney’s CBD, provides the perfect accommodation solution for professional conference and event organisers seeking comfortable rooms at an affordable price close to Sydney’s major venues.

The hotel’s close proximity to the well-equipped five-star hotels Hilton Sydney and Sheraton on the Park, and the popular conference venues Wesley Conference Centre and Sydney Masonic Centre, have made it the affordable accommodation choice for many of Australia’s top conference and convention organisers.

George Bedwani, COO of Metro Hotels says the hotel offers a centrally located, affordable accommodation option which is proving increasingly popular with the corporate and MICE market.

“The hotel’s location at 300 Pitt Street means we are conveniently positioned within walking distance for guests attending events at a variety of conference venues throughout the CBD including the Sydney Conference and Exhibition Centre at Darling Harbour,” Mr Bedwani said.

“Many business travellers attend conferences in the nearby five star hotels but aren’t prepared to pay five-star accommodation rates to stay on-site. We provide a convenient, affordable alternative for them without compromising on comfort or modern conveniences.”

Metro Hotel on Pitt offers 115 guest rooms ranging from Budget to King Spa rooms, each complete with broadband internet connection, key card access to rooms and lift, cable television and Pay per View movies. All have ensuite bathrooms, 24 hour reception and room service to 10pm.

Sydney Airport and outlying areas are easily accessed either by train, with Town Hall railway station only minutes away and bus and taxi services at the hotel’s doorstep. The Hotel’s facilities also include a fully licensed bar and restaurant, Paradiso, offering a range of modern Australian and European dishes, and a comprehensive wine list with a choice of local and imported wines.
