Vivid Sydney

Vivid Sydney returns from 23 May to 14 June 2025, transforming the city into a playground of light, music, and ideas. From large-scale light projections and immersive installations to thought-provoking talks and live performances, Vivid is one of Sydney’s most iconic festivals — and a must-see experience.

Located in the heart of the Sydney CBD, Novotel Sydney City Centre puts you right near the action. Just steps from Wynyard Station, our hotel offers easy access to major Vivid event locations including Circular Quay, The Rocks, Barangaroo, Darling Harbour, and the Sydney Opera House — all just a short walk or quick light rail ride away.

After a night exploring Sydney’s glowing skyline, return to spacious, modern rooms designed for comfort. Our facilities include 24-hour reception, express check-in and check-out kiosks, onsite parking (limited), a gym, buffet breakfast, and in-room dining. For a relaxed pre- or post-event meal, visit our onsite bar and restaurant, Birdie Bar & Brasserie, offering seasonal dishes and signature drinks in a warm, contemporary setting.

Whether you’re here to soak in the lights, explore the ideas, or simply enjoy the buzz of the city, Novotel Sydney City Centre is your ideal base for Vivid Sydney 2025.
