Make it Easy with Hotel Options for Your Next Conference

But here’s what makes MCEC different: we’re the only convention centre in Australia with two world-class hotels directly connected. Pan Pacific Melbourne and Novotel Melbourne South Wharf link to our venue by covered walkways, meaning delegates can go from their room straight into your conference without heading outside. It’s seamless, simple, and sets us apart.

So, what are the perks of offering hotel choices for your conference attendees?

Just Moments Away!

Choosing a hotel near our conference venue is a game-changer that gives your delegates back valuable time and money; there is no need to worry about catching an Uber or dealing with long commutes; they can simply stroll over to MCEC, saving time and energy. Your delegates can move between their hotel and the conference without any hassle and can take advantage of breaks, networking sessions, or late-night events without getting lost in an unfamiliar city.

Something For Everyone

Personal taste in accommodation matters, and we understand that. That's why we've curated a selection of hotel partners to cater to a diverse range of preferences. Looking for luxurious indulgence or prefer a more budget-friendly option? We have something for everyone. Our hotel partners offer an array of amenities and services to improve anyone's stay, including gorgeous infinity pools, chic rooftop bars, and unparalleled views of the Melbourne skyline. Each hotel has its own unique character, allowing you to find the perfect match that resonates with your delegates.

Endless Opportunities

It's not just about the convenience but the unique opportunities for networking, socialising, and forging meaningful connections with like-minded professionals. Give delegates the convenience to exchange ideas and insights during conference breaks or catch-up post-event and enjoy vibrant conversations in the hotel lobby or rooftop bar; this sense of community fosters deeper collaborations beyond the conference walls.
