The Fullerton Hotels and Resorts has officially taken over full ownership and operation of the former Westin, Sydney, with the landmark property now formally branded as The Fullerton Hotel Sydney. The opening today [Friday 18 October, 2019] marks the international expansion of The Fullerton Hotels and Resorts, the brand central to the waterfront precinct of The Fullerton Heritage by Marina Bay in Singapore, which includes The Fullerton Hotel Singapore and The Fullerton Bay Hotel Singapore.

The Fullerton Hotel Sydney has confirmed its association with the I Preferred Hotel Rewards program. It is the only Sydney-based hotel that is currently listed as a member of Preferred Hotels & Resorts.
