The TikTok Entertainment Centre is the new name for ICC Sydney Theatre, the big indoor concert venue at Darling Harbour, renamed in November 2025. Concerts, comedy and awards nights there finish late and the hotels around Darling Harbour price accordingly. Marco Polo Motor Inn Sydney in Summer Hill is the easy alternative: the L1 light rail runs direct from Taverners Hill, a walkable stop near the hotel, to the Convention stop at the venue's door, rooms are from $140, parking is free and reception is open 24 hours for whenever the encore ends.
Getting to the TikTok Entertainment Centre
Leave the car in our free secured undercover car park, walk to Taverners Hill light rail and ride the L1 direct to the Convention or Exhibition Centre stops, right beside ICC Sydney and the theatre. No changes, and the light rail runs late into the evening. Alternatively, take the train from Summer Hill to Central in about 15 minutes and the L1 or a 10-minute walk from there.
Driving in on show nights means Darling Harbour car park prices and queues. The light rail is how locals go.
About the venue
Opened in 2016 as ICC Sydney Theatre, it is one of Australia's largest indoor theatres, with tiered seating that gives clear sightlines from every level. It hosts international touring artists, comedy festivals, awards shows and conference keynotes, and sits inside the International Convention Centre precinct with Darling Harbour's restaurants and bars on the doorstep. In November 2025 it took the name TikTok Entertainment Centre under a naming-rights partnership; the convention and exhibition halls beside it are still ICC Sydney.
Back late? Reception is open
Reception is staffed 24 hours a day, so there is no check-in cut-off and no late-return cut-off. Check-in is from 2 pm, check-out is 10 am, and rooms have keyless access. Every room has a fridge, a kettle, a microwave and a toaster for a late snack or an easy breakfast, plus free premium Purezza water refills in reception.
Rooms and prices for show nights
Rooms are from $140 a night Monday to Thursday and from $180 on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights and public holidays, with no event surcharge.
