Four Points to be Re-branded into Hyatt Regency in Sydney?
When I stayed at the Four Points by Sherton Sydney, Darling Harbour last year, I fell in love with it. The newly-refurbished hotel offers a really impressive view of the harbour (check it out here!) and the location is also really great with everything within walking distance. I read this morning that a Hyatt affiliate has entered into a management agreement with a M&L Hospitality affiliate to transform the Four Points by Sherton Sydney, Darling Harbour into the Hyatt Regency Sydney. The re-brand will officially happen on 30 November 2016 if the agreement goes through.

Four Points by Sherton Sydney, Darling Harbour
The current Four Points by Sherton Sydney, Darling Harbour has just undergone a significant US$250 million redevelopment and refurbishment. The expansion of the hotel will also include a brand new 24-storey tower with 222 additional guest rooms that will bring the total room inventory count to 892. The hotel will also introduce a new 272-seat all-day dining restaurant which will feature a Regency Club lounge (after the re-brand) with impressive and panoramic views of the harbour.
As you may already know, Mastercard has partnered with the Land Transport Authority (LTA) and TransitLink to launch Mastercard contactless payments on buses and trains. Commuters are currently able to use their credit and debit card (with Mastercard contactless function) to make fare payments - you will not need to top-up your card since transactions will be processed, accumulated and charged to your relevant credit or debit card. From 06 June 2019, Visa cards will also be supported and in case you are wondering, mobile wallets (e.g. Apple Pay) are supported as well.
