Boomtown!
2018 BOOMTOWN! Project of the Year & Category Winner for Tourism
Inglis Riverside Stables & The William Inglis Hotel
Sitting at the heart of the Warwick Farm precinct, the Inglis Riverside Stables and William
Inglis Hotel complex has not only proved to be a winner in racing circles, but since opening
late last year, quickly established itself as one of Western Sydney’s popular hospitality,
leisure and corporate destinations.
Named after the company’s figurehead and founder, the venue offers state-of-the-
art stabling and sales facilities, which are complemented by equine themed 5-star
accommodation and an extensive range of conferencing facilities. The William Inglis Boutique
Hotel boasts a rooftop bar and pool deck overlooking the famous racecourse, and is
managed by AccorHotels, the largest hotel operator in the Asia Pacific. Adjoining the hotel
is an integrated, air-conditioned parade and sales area accommodating up to 1000 guests.
It features stabling for 800 horses, permanent hospitality suites, rubberized bitumen and
synthetic turfs, and a ringside dining service.
This $140m investment has delivered one of the country’s finest equine auction houses. When
combined with its purpose-built events centre and hotel, has set a new benchmark when it
comes to tourism, hospitality and conferencing in Western Sydney, attracting thousands of
national and international visitors to the region.
The Western Sydney Leadership Dialogue is proud to recognise the winners of
BOOMTOWN’s Project of the Year Awards. Congratulations to the respective
projects on winning their nominated categories.
The awards celebrate achievement in innovation and leadership in project
design and delivery, by the public and private sector, and recognise major
projects that have positively impacted on community, social, and economic
outcomes.
The current building boom in the region, both in infrastructure and property,
will see many more candidates come forward in subsequent years as the
development cycle gains pace, but we are delighted with the cohort on show in
