The George on Collins can host a team meeting for 14, a seated dinner for 150 or a cocktail party for 600 across its six rooms at 162 to 168 Collins Street in central Melbourne. Its events team offers packages and quotes tailored to the group, and catering is prepared in house.
Seminars and company events
The venue lists corporate functions among its core events. The Den and the Rumpus are the rooms it points to for work events, while the Parlour is suited to end-of-year parties for large teams. The Den seats 26 and takes up to 40 standing. The Rumpus seats 20 and holds about 25 for a cocktail event. The Attic seats between 12 and 14 and takes up to 35 standing, which makes it a private room for a small leadership meeting or a client lunch.
The Parlour is the largest single room, at over 150 seated and up to 350 standing, and it works for an all-company dinner or a launch. The Cellar seats 45 and holds between 80 and 220 standing, depending on whether it is opened up.
Rooms and capacities
The Loft seats 35 and takes up to 35 standing. For the largest events, the Full House option opens the entire venue for more than 600 guests at a cocktail-style event. Seated numbers for the full house are available on request. The venue's own pages give slightly different figures in different places, notably for the Cellar and the Attic, so confirm the exact numbers for your layout when you ask for a quote.
Catering
The George on Collins serves South East Asian cuisine and offers in-house catering for its events. Event packages are available, and the team provides custom quotes. If you want to bring in outside catering, raise this at the booking stage so that the team can say what is possible.
History and setting
The building is on Collins Street, in the heart of Melbourne's central business district, which keeps it close to offices, hotels and the tram network. The multi-level layout, with rooms named Cellar, Den, Loft, Attic, Rumpus and Parlour, lets several groups share a building or one company use several floors for a program that moves from a briefing to a dinner.
Getting there
The venue is at 162 to 168 Collins Street, Melbourne VIC 3000. Events enquiries go to events@thegeorgeoncollins.com.au or the phone number on the website.
