Large Mural to Appear on the facade of the Club Wyndham Sydney

One of Australia’s largest murals will soon adorn the façade of the Club Wyndham Sydney building, with a 14-story artwork announced for the inner city hotel, located on the corner of Goulburn and Wentworth streets.

The hotel is part of the Club Wyndham South Pacific collection, a credits-based holiday program that offers close to 60,000 members access to 51 resorts across Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, Bali, Thailand, Europe, Japan, and Hawaii.

“With Club Wyndham Sydney’s prime corner block position in the heart of one of the world’s greatest cities, at the gateway to the creative hub of Surry Hills, we saw an opportunity to do something unique during the property’s upcoming renovation. The mural will surely become a landmark that will connect our members and guests with the local community while celebrating the history of this vibrant part of the city,” said Barry Robinson, President, and Managing Director, International Operations, Wyndham Vacation Clubs.

Once complete, the mural will cover two sides and all 14 stories of the hotel. It will feature the faces of a man and woman from the 1940s, as a nod to the World War II newsreels and movies from Hollywood that was first screened at the nearby Surry Hills Paramount Theatre before they were released into the Australian market. These films were Australia’s connection to the outside world, and it was during this time that big Hollywood movie stars like Bob Hope and Charlton Heston visited the city.

Considered the birthplace of cinema in Australia, Surry Hills today remains a creative center with the Belvoir Theatre and a concentration of film schools, production companies and art galleries in the area. In recognition of the film and arts communities of Surry Hills, the woman will be holding a vintage home movie camera. Pops of color in the woman’s nails and the man’s eyes will enhance the sepia-toned retro design.

Artists from Apparition Media are expected to commence work on the mural in the coming weeks. The company of artists are skilled in a range of styles, from graffiti to stencils, to highly detailed photorealism and are famous for creating striking murals across the country. Works are scheduled to be completed by mid-November.

“Club Wyndham celebrates living your bucket list today – the must-see destinations and the must-do experiences. Our resorts, located in iconic holiday destinations, offer quality apartment-style accommodation coupled with outstanding service. This is the ideal launchpad to experience the best of Sydney and we anticipate that Club Wyndham Sydney will become a celebrated city landmark once the mural is complete,” Mr. Robinson said.
