Melbourne Sofitel Gets Ballroom Makeover
Award winning Sofitel Melbourne On Collins has now completed a major renovation to its Grand Ballroom.
It is setting a new standard in flexible functionality and offering a ‘magnifique’ experience for both large or smaller sized events.
Located on level 1 of Sofitel Melbourne On Collins, the Grand Ballroom is one of the city’s most versatile and respected event venues playing host to major business forums, prominent world leaders and heralding in the opening night festivities of many of Broadway’s greatest productions including Wicked, Mary Poppins, Love Never Dies and many more.
With ceilings over 5m and nearly 800m² of floor space, this unique venue can hold trade exhibitions, theatre-style or cocktail events for 1000 guests or a magnificent banquet for up to 700 guests. In addition, this space can be divided into three separate rooms (Perth Room, Sydney Room and Brisbane Room) – each accommodating up to 300 delegates, theatre style.
Key features of this transformation will be a venue that is contemporary with uniquely customised finishes to ensure the satisfaction of our discerning guests. The retention and refurbishment of the operable walls provides and maintains the Ballroom’s flexible functionality for large or smaller sized events.
The new carpet offers an autumnal feel featuring fallen leaves of rich gold, rush reds and burnt orange set against a deep chocolate background. The walls are divided into three segments, each displaying a different colour. The lower section is clad in dark chocolate stained oak timber panelling to draw in the carpet’s deep chocolate background onto the walls and continues around the entire perimeter of the room and into the doors. This timber was selected to add warmth and elegance as well as a durable surface.
The central section of the wall is clad with panels wrapped in a soft, mint green coloured wallpaper to provide a soothing neutral backdrop that accentuates presentations as well as tying in the vines of the custom design carpet. Above this, is a timber framed soft gold coloured wallpaper that brings in the nature theme in a large scale, cascading foliage motif.
