What are you doing this weekend?
Stay close to all the best Sydney Sporting Events with a Weekend Escape to Crowne Plaza Coogee Beach, Sydney. Whatever be your code – AFL, NRL, Rugby or American College Football. Crowne Plaza Coogee Beach’s sporty Weekend Special is sure to delight and keep you closest to all the action. On and off the field.
Sports whether spectating or competing is an important part of Australian culture and a way of life. Starting out as nippers in childhood, backyard cricket on the weekend to kicking the footy after school until dark; sport is arguably in the Australian blood.
For many Australians sport serves as an escape; a distraction from everyday life… fun, fitness, personal bests, cheering and determination. It’s on our calendars from January to December year-round.
Sport bridges the gap between us all and can be something that brings people together that otherwise would have never interacted. It is the tie that binds, the call to arms that we all answer.
In short, sport can be magical and filled with memories.
Some cities are more fortunate than others when it comes to sports. If Australia was a sport … would Sydney be its lead runner? With year-round sporting spectaculars on offer that make visitors far and wide flock to our harbour city – there is always something on in the Sydney sporting event scene.
Crowne Plaza Coogee Beach, a seaside retreat located just 20-minutes from Sydney Airport and the CBD is ideally located on the relaxing coast in Sydney’s Fashionable Eastern Suburbs and the bustling excitement of the city.
Enjoy the best of both worlds with Crowne Plaza Coogee Beach as your connected base to the sports world of Sydney.
