“We’ve designed Four Points by Sheraton Sydney, Central Park to integrate seamlessly with Central Park’s beautiful heritage buildings, existing residential areas and eco-conscious sustainability initiatives.

THPT Comment: The upcoming opening of the Four Points hotel marks the brand’s return to the harbour city, following Hyatt Regency’s replacement of the Four Points by Sheraton at Darling Harbour in late 2016, after a 16-year stint.
