Hilton and the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre (MCEC) are set to deliver a contemporary conference offering to meet the needs of the small to medium meetings and events market.
This new level of conference facilities will enable
Hilton
Melbourne
South
Wharf
to provide hotel residential and day guests with direct access to the MCEC’s state-of-the-art new conference, events and meeting facilities combined with the renowned world-class service and facilities that business travellers have come to expect from Hilton hotels.
The ‘South Wharf Meetings and Events’ service will make booking the MCEC for small and medium sized meetings and events a simple one-step process. This service will be provided in addition to a number of meeting and events packages offered by the new hotel including day delegate packages.
Michael Bourne, General Manager of
Hilton
Melbourne
South
Wharf
, said that the hotel is very excited to be working with the MCEC to develop a competitive conference package offering.
“For
Hilton
Melbourne
South
Wharf
to be able to offer this state-of-the-art centre to our loyal clients and guests is a wonderful addition to Hilton's offering, not just in
Melbourne
but Australia-wide. The location of the new
Hilton
Melbourne
South
Wharf
to the MCEC is why our meetings and events offering is not just compelling - it is unique in the national market. Conference delegates will find access to the meeting and events space quick, easy and convenient.”
Leigh Harry, Chief Executive of the MCEC, agreed that the new service will be beneficial for the local conference and events market.
"The MCEC is looking forward to working with Hilton hotels. Hilton understands the small to medium meetings market in
Australia
.”
Hilton
Melbourne
South
Wharf
will launch the new service in mid-October with the release of its day delegate packages. These packages will be available from $99 per person, including a comprehensive audio visual (AV) offering. The AV provided by the MCEC will be state-of-the-art and as an automatic inclusion, will make organising an event so much easier.
The
Hilton
Melbourne
South
Wharf
and the MCEC are uniquely located right in the heart of
Melbourne
on the edge of the
Yarra
River
within walking distance to the arts and sporting precincts of
Melbourne
and the central business district.
