InterContinental Sydney Double Bay hosts conferences, gala dinners, cocktail parties and weddings of 10 to 500 guests, with a Grand Ballroom for up to 360 seated. The hotel has 140 rooms and suites and a rooftop pool with harbor views, and sits on Cross Street in Double Bay, in Sydney's eastern suburbs.
Seminars and company events
The hotel counts 11 event spaces, from boardrooms to the ballroom. The Grand Ballroom takes 500 for cocktails or 360 at a banquet and divides into three sections. Smaller meetings use boardrooms and meeting rooms, and The Courtyard has indoor spaces with natural light. Day delegate packages include room hire, arrival coffee, morning and afternoon breaks and a working lunch from the chefs.
Audiovisual work is handled in house by Myles AV, with sound, drop-down screens and lighting in each space and technicians on site. Hybrid and streamed meetings are supported, and Wi-Fi is included for delegates. External AV suppliers need the hotel's approval. Every venue can be booked exclusively except the rooftop pool, which stays open to hotel guests.
Weddings and receptions
The hotel lists seven wedding venues and takes weddings from 10 to 500 guests. Ceremonies can be held in the Parisian Courtyard, an open-air space with ivy-covered walls, and The Courtyard takes up to 50 for a ceremony, pets included. Receptions use the Grand Ballroom, with chandeliers and high ceilings, Keltie Cove for up to 70 seated or The Dining Room for 50. An in-house wedding team plans the day, and Elixir by Symphony is the preferred stylist. Packages include seasonal menus and drinks, with canapés, flowers and a suite for the couple as options.
