The world-class sporting event returns to Melbourne Park on the 16th of January, for two weeks of action-packed excitement. With a history dating back to the 20th Century, tennis never seems to stop growing in popularity. Last year’s tournament saw a crowd of more than 700,000 over the weekend!

Where to eat
After you land, treat your taste buds to some of Melbourne’s most prestigious fine dining restaurants.

Flower Drum – an authentic and elegant Chinese restaurant situated right in the heart of Melbourne. Choose from a range of banquets or à la carte meals – the Peking duck being their highly rated signature dish.
Dinner by Heston – stay at the Crown Hotel, and you won’t need to travel far to eat at this deluxe restaurant. Inspired by historic British gastronomy, Dinner by Heston provides a fine-dining experience you will not forget.

Your accommodation can either make or break your holiday. We recommend booking one of the following luxe hotels to avoid facing disappointment.

The Marriott – classy, contemporary and convenient – what more could you ask for? The Marriott is a highly reputable hotel that boasts an array of luxury amenities in an advantageous location.
Crown Hotel – choose from a range of luxe suites at either of Crown’s 5-star, multi-award winning hotels. With in-house spas, gyms and sporting courts, there’s no real reason to leave (aside from the tennis, of course).
