New York feel to it, commanding a modern grandeur. It is perfect for
large scale dinner or canape functions if you’re looking to host an event
with style and impact.
The Terrace
and Terrace
A semi-private space with an outlook directly over the Yarra River
towards the Botanical Gardens. This modern space is flooded by
natural light during the day and the city lights by night. Adjacent to
the Dining Room, it’s an ideal space for sophisticated dining events and
cocktail parties.
Our private dining room overlooks Federation Square with 180 degree
views of the Yarra River, Arts Centre and the MCG. Ideal for long boozy
lunches and dinner parties or intimate stand up cocktail parties, it
offers privacy from the rest of the venue and can be converted to a
semi-alfresco space.
These two rooms can be combined seamlessly to create one stunning
semi-private space for either sit-down dining events or stand-up
cocktail functions.
