Novotel Sydney Olympic Park is delighted to confirm the renewal of its sponsorship of the Sydney Kings Basketball Team for the 2024/2025 season, returning as the Club's Official Accommodation Partner for the seventh year running.

Pursuant to the partnership, all visiting teams playing the reigning NBL champions and their sister team, the Sydney Flames, at Sydney Olympic Park's Qudos Bank Arena and Quaycentre Arena during the coming season, will be hosted at Novotel Sydney Olympic Park.

The hotel will also leverage its sponsorship via a range of strategic initiatives aimed at engaging Kings and Flames fans and other basketball enthusiasts attending home games at Sydney Olympic Park, including access to exclusive dining, accommodation offers, corporate hospitality, events, activations and consumer competitions across the season.

Hoops Capital Executive Director Matt Denholm says the Club is delighted the Kings' longstanding relationship with the hotel has been reconfirmed for another season.

“We're thrilled to partner with Accor Sydney Olympic Park again this year. We know that Sydney Olympic Park is the premier sporting destination in the country. If fans are travelling from interstate or just looking for an excuse for a night away from home, Accor Hotels Sydney Olympic Park provides the perfect opportunity to stay before or after a game. And with several restaurants and bars to enjoy for visitors or guests, it elevates any game day experience.” 

It's a sentiment reciprocated by Accor Sydney Olympic Park Hotel Precinct General Manager, Benjamin Nesbitt.

“From the outset, the decision to partner with the Sydney Kings was a natural and logical one for Accor, not just because the Club is a highly successful and well-run sporting organisation, but also because it's a team that shares so many strong synergies with our business – an iconic brand with a proud heritage, fuelled by a passion for excellence and a commitment to teamwork”

He adds, “Over the last few years the popularity of basketball has gone from strength to strength, and the Club's fan base and the number of people attending games, especially families, has soared. We're proud of the role we've played in helping build that momentum, and we're excited we'll continue to work with the Sydney Kings and the Sydney Flames to grow it even further this season.”

The first home game of the 2024/2025 season is taking place in round two at Qudos Bank Arena on Sunday, 29 September when the Sydney Kings will play the Illawarra Hawks and Nesbitt is encouraging all Kings fans to make a weekend of it, and book one of the Novotel's great-value pre- or post-game dining packages or even an overnight stay.

“Fans looking for a chance to mingle with the players post-game, should head to the Brewery Bar + Kitchen located underneath the Novotel on Olympic Boulevard, just a 5 – 10 minute walk from the Arena. While you are there, you can enjoy 20% off food and drinks*. Even better, kids eat free when accompanied by a paying adult,“ he says.
