The area directly surrounding ICC Sydney has been beautifully revamped. Green parkland sits beside bars and restaurants, and retail stores and luxury apartments nestle up to opulent hotels.

The revitalisation of Darling Harbour includes a new 590-room luxury hotel, Sofitel Darling Harbour, modern residential and commercial developments and a new pedestrian boulevard connecting the waterfront back to Central Station.

After a concert, conference or exhibition, visitors will be able to stroll through the re-imagined Tumbalong Park or back to the lights and activity of Sydney’s laneways, discussing their incredible experience at ICC Sydney.
