Here’s what you need to know.

First Moxy in Australia Opens 10 Minutes From Sydney Airport

The 301-room Moxy Sydney Airport is just 10 minutes from Sydney International Airport (SYD) by shuttle bus and 20 minutes from Sydney’s Central Business District, giving travelers easy access to points across the city.

Inside, a lobby serves as a working and communal space, 5 studios can be used for events and meetings, and 2 dining options feature a bar and grab-and-go option.

All rooms feature keyless entry, 55-inch flat-screen TVs, and complimentary Wi-Fi.

“We are thrilled to continue to grow our global portfolio and introduce the energetic Moxy brand to Australia with the opening of Moxy Sydney Airport,” said Matthew Boettcher, Vice President and Global Brand Leader of Moxy Hotels. “Sydney is a city of iconic attractions and urban excitement, making it the perfect destination for a spirited brand like Moxy.”

While this marks Moxy’s debut in Sydney — and Australia at large — the brand has a sizable presence worldwide. You’ll find 125 Moxy properties across 24 countries and territories, with each property focusing on communal spaces and flexible designs.

How To Book the Moxy Sydney Airport

The Moxy Sydney Airport is now open for guests. The hotel is participating in the Marriott Bonvoy program, which means you can earn and redeem points for a stay.

As it’s an airport hotel, guests typically won’t stay too long, and award nights are priced appropriately. You’ll find rates as low as $117 or 20,000 Marriott Bonvoy points per night through the end of the year.

If you need to top up your account balance, you’re in luck, as it’s easy to earn Marriott Bonvoy points. Marriott offers several co-branded credit cards, all offering substantial welcome bonuses. You can then redeem Marriott Bonvoy points at hotels worldwide, including at the Moxy Sydney Airport.

You can also transfer Chase Ultimate Rewards points earned from several Chase credit cards and American Express Membership Rewards points earned from Amex credit cards at a 1:1 ratio.

Final Thoughts

While airport hotel openings aren’t typically exciting, this is an exception. The Moxy Sydney Airport is located just 10 minutes from the airport as well as the center of the city, and even if you’re planning to stay for a few days, award and cash rates are affordable. If you’re visiting Sydney (or just passing through), you’ll want to consider staying at this hotel!
