Overview of Meriton Suites Chatswood
Meriton Suites Chatswood is a 32-floor serviced apartment tower with 337 suites, completed in 2015 and run as a five-star aparthotel at 79 Albert Avenue in Chatswood, the commercial heart of Sydney's Lower North Shore. Rather than hotel rooms, every unit here is a self-contained suite with its own kitchen and internal laundry, which makes the property a practical base for anyone staying more than a night or two, whether that is a family visiting relatives on the North Shore, a project team working in the Chatswood office precinct, or a couple who simply prefer to make breakfast in their own space.
The building sits in the Willoughby area, a short walk from Chatswood Interchange, where Sydney Trains and Sydney Metro services meet. That rail link is the main reason the location works so well: the city centre, North Sydney and Macquarie Park are all reachable without a car, while Chatswood itself offers some of Sydney's largest shopping centres within a few minutes on foot.
Meriton Suites lists Chatswood on its official site as one of its Northern Sydney properties, alongside sister addresses in North Ryde and North Sydney. Guests who have stayed at another Meriton Suites building will recognise the format: large apartment-style layouts, an indoor pool and fitness centre, and a front desk that is staffed around the clock.
Suite Types at Meriton Suites Chatswood
The official Meriton Suites page lists six suite categories at Chatswood, ranging from one-bedroom layouts up to a single top-floor three-bedroom category. Every suite has a kitchen with a large fridge, an internal laundry with a washer and dryer, and king-sized beds, while Traveloka's listing notes air conditioning, a flat-screen television with premium channels, a phone, a desk and a laptop-compatible safe. Outlooks depend on floor and orientation, facing either the city skyline or the surrounding suburbs and bushland.
1 Bedroom Suite
The entry category, at 54 square metres, sleeps two and is spread across levels 1 to 31. It combines a separate bedroom with a living and dining area and the full kitchen, so it suits couples or solo business travellers who want more room than a standard hotel room provides.
1 Bedroom City Suite
Also 54 square metres and sleeping two, the City Suite is placed on the higher levels, from 20 to 31, which is where the skyline outlooks are found. Choose this one if the view matters most in a one-bedroom stay.
1 Bedroom Accessible Suite
This 54-square-metre suite for two sits on levels 4 to 18 and is designed for guests who need an accessible layout. Booking it early is sensible, as accessible inventory in any building is limited.
2 Bedroom Suite
At 76 square metres and sleeping four, the two-bedroom suite runs from level 1 to level 32. It is the most flexible option for families or two colleagues sharing, with two separate bedrooms arranged around a shared kitchen and lounge.
2 Bedroom City Suite
The higher-floor version of the two-bedroom layout, also 76 square metres for up to four guests, located on levels 20 to 31 for city-facing outlooks.
3 Bedroom Altitude Suite
The largest category, at 108 square metres and sleeping six, occupies level 32, the top floor of the tower. It is the natural choice for a larger family or a small group travelling together.
Bedding is king beds by default; the property asks guests who would prefer two single beds to contact the hotel in advance. Rollaway and extra beds are not available, so book a suite that matches the size of your group rather than planning to add a bed. One child can stay free when sharing a parent or guardian's suite using the existing bedding.
Facilities and Amenities
For a serviced apartment building, Meriton Suites Chatswood carries a fuller leisure offering than many apartment-style stays. The official site highlights an indoor pool, a spa and a fully equipped fitness centre, and Traveloka's facility list adds a sauna. Pool access runs from 5 AM to 10 PM, which works well for an early swim before a workday or an evening session after sightseeing.
- Leisure: indoor pool, spa (hot tub), sauna and fitness centre.
- Connectivity: free Wi-Fi, with wired internet access also listed for the suites.
- Front desk and services: 24-hour receptionist, concierge, luggage storage, laundry and dry-cleaning service, and newspapers in the lobby.
- Convenience: safety deposit box, lifts, a vending machine and a designated smoking area.
- Parking: secure, undercover onsite parking is available for a nightly fee, with limited spaces and height restrictions; the official site also notes an EV charger onsite.
Because every suite has its own washer and dryer, guests on longer stays rarely need the laundry service, but it is there for business shirts or dry-clean-only items. Contactless check-out is available, and the property is professionally cleaned.
Location and Getting There
Albert Avenue sits on the eastern side of the Chatswood town centre, which means the main shopping, dining and transport hubs are clustered within walking distance. Traveloka's location data places the following within easy reach:
- Mandarin Centre and Westfield Chatswood, both within a five-minute walk
- Chatswood Interchange (Sydney Trains and Sydney Metro), a few hundred metres away
- The Concourse, under a kilometre away
- Chatswood Chase shopping centre, about 0.9 km away
- Chatswood Golf Club, about 2 km away
- Lane Cove National Park, about 3.5 km away according to the official site
- North Shore Private Hospital and Royal North Shore Hospital, about 2.7 km and 3 km away
- North Sydney Oval, about 5.3 km away
- Luna Park Sydney and the Sydney Harbour Bridge, both just under 9 km away
- Macquarie University and Macquarie Shopping Centre, both under 10 km away
From the interchange, trains cross the Harbour Bridge into the city centre, and the Metro line runs north-west towards Macquarie Park, so much of a Sydney itinerary can be covered by rail. The proximity of Royal North Shore and North Shore Private hospitals also makes the property a practical choice for families visiting patients or for medical professionals on placement.
Sydney Airport (SYD) is the preferred gateway, about 26.4 km away; Western Sydney International (WSI) is roughly 63.8 km away. The property does not list an airport transfer, so plan on a taxi, rideshare or the train via the city. Travellers starting from Changi can book flights from Singapore to Sydney on Traveloka and then continue by rail to Chatswood. If you plan to arrive after 11 PM, contact the property in advance using the details on your booking confirmation.
Dining at and near Meriton Suites Chatswood
Meriton Suites Chatswood has no restaurant of its own; Traveloka lists no onsite restaurants, and the format is built around self-catering. Each suite's kitchen includes a large fridge and freezer, a stovetop and a coffee machine, so stocking up at a nearby supermarket and cooking in is easy, which many families and long-stay guests prefer.
When you would rather eat out, Chatswood is well served. The Mandarin Centre and Westfield Chatswood, both a few minutes away on foot, have food courts and a broad choice of restaurants, and Chatswood Chase adds more options a little further along. The official site also points to the Chatswood Mall Markets, roughly 500 metres away, where food stalls and fresh produce draw a crowd. With three large shopping centres and the markets all within walking distance, it is easy to vary meals across a long stay without needing transport.
For days out beyond Chatswood, browse things to do and attractions around Sydney to pair a harbour cruise, a wildlife park visit or a Blue Mountains day trip with your stay.
Why Stay at Meriton Suites Chatswood
Space is the headline. Even the smallest suite here is 54 square metres, and the three-bedroom Altitude Suite reaches 108 square metres on the top floor. Add an in-suite laundry and a full kitchen and the property becomes a home base rather than just a place to sleep, which is exactly what a week-long family visit or a month-long work assignment calls for.
- Transport on the doorstep: Chatswood Interchange is a short walk, giving direct rail access to the city, North Sydney and Macquarie Park.
- Shopping and food within minutes: Westfield Chatswood, the Mandarin Centre and Chatswood Chase are all close by.
- Leisure facilities: an indoor pool, spa, sauna and fitness centre are welcome extras for an apartment-style stay.
- Five-star service model: a 24-hour receptionist and concierge support the self-contained suites.
- Room for groups: two- and three-bedroom layouts for families and colleagues travelling together.
The trade-off is that there is no restaurant or bar on site, so travellers who want full-service dining under one roof may be better suited elsewhere. If you are weighing options, compare other hotels and serviced apartments on Traveloka before you commit.
Tips for Booking Meriton Suites Chatswood on Traveloka
- Match the suite to your group: extra beds and rollaways are not offered, so choose a two-bedroom suite or the three-bedroom Altitude Suite for families or groups of more than two.
- Pick a City Suite for views: the City categories are located on levels 20 to 31, where the skyline outlooks are found.
- Request twin beds early: suites come with king beds by default; contact the property in advance if you need two singles.
- Bring a card, not cash: the property accepts credit and debit cards only, and the cardholder must present the booking card with matching photo ID at check-in. A credit card authorisation, scaled to the suite size, is placed at check-in, and card surcharges apply.
- Know the timings: check-in starts at 3 PM and check-out is by 10 AM. Contact the property ahead if arriving after 11 PM.
- Check the age rule in late spring: during Schoolies Festival, from mid-November to mid-December, the minimum check-in age is 21.
- Driving? Onsite parking is limited, charged nightly and subject to height restrictions, so allow for this when planning a road trip.
- House rules: only registered guests are allowed in the suites, and events or parties are not permitted. Service animals are allowed.
Read the room details on this page before booking, since inclusions can differ by rate. When everything else is lined up, you can plan the rest of your trip from the Traveloka homepage.
