A Stage Built for the City's Biggest Nights

The Grand Ballroom is a pillar-free 1,400 m² hall with an eight-metre ceiling, full blackout capability, a built-in stage rig and a back-of-house corridor wide enough for a car launch. Six boardrooms and the harbour-facing terrace handle everything from AGMs to ceremonies above the water.

Every event carries a dedicated producer from our in-house team — staging, lighting design, florals, security, menu engineering and guest logistics run under one roof and one contract. The banquet kitchen plates 1,200 covers simultaneously, and the loading dock swallows full concert rigs.

Questions

Frequently Asked

The Grand Ballroom seats 1,200 guests banquet-style or 1,600 in theatre configuration, with a pillar-free floor and full production rig built in.

Dry hire allows accredited external suppliers; most clients prefer our in-house production, florals and catering for a single accountable contract.

Six boardrooms seat 8 to 60 guests with harbour views, and the mezzanine lounge suits private dinners of up to 30.

Every confirmed event includes a private tasting for four with our banquet chef, where the menu, wines and service style are finalised.
