Journal: short notes, each one dated
Things change around a hotel faster than a guide can keep up. These notes record one subject each, with the date we checked it and where the facts came from.
Light rail to the new fish market
How to reach the Sydney Fish Market at Blackwattle Bay from The Star Grand Hotel since it opened on 19 January 2026. Checked 1 November 2026.
Pyrmont Bridge at noon and at midnight
The 1902 swing bridge between Pyrmont and the city, and why it is the best walk from the hotel at both ends of the day. Checked 1 November 2026.
A casino under a state-appointed manager
What the NSW regulator said on 25 September 2026, and what it does and does not change for a hotel guest. Checked 1 November 2026.
November 2026 around the bay
Every dated event we could confirm near The Star Grand Hotel for November 2026, in one list. Checked 1 November 2026.
By day
Daytime notes cover getting around: the light rail, the bridge, the market.
We write them when a fact changes, not to fill a calendar.
By night
Night-time notes cover what is on and what is open late.
The casino note is the exception: it is about the rules, not the evening.
If you spot something out of date, write to hello@pyrmontbaystays.com and we will check it and correct the note, with the new date.
