Private events have found a sophisticated new city locale. Dine in a Barrel Room, host a soiree in a secret lounge or takeover one of Melbourne’s acclaimed restaurants – Next Hotel Melbourne’s enclave of stylish spaces are fast becoming a sought after location to host events from six to 60.

And with La Madonna Melbourne chefs, Adrian Li and Danny Natoli at the helm, menus can be created to suit whatever occasion you want to make it…

Take a seat in The Barrel Room

With just eight sought after seats, The Barrel Room is arguably Melbourne’s most unique private dining table. Surrounded by cocktails and spirits ageing in wooden barrels, an array of tinctures and liqueurs plus floor to ceiling windows framing Little Collins Street below, this intimate setting allows food and drink to take centre stage.

Arrange a wine tasting, a special barrel decanting demonstration or a food and drink matching menu to add extra immersion to your private event. This special space can now be booked exclusively for occasions from day to night.

Stage something special in The Green Room

An exclusive space tucked away within the sprawling third floor space of La Madonna Melbourne, The Green Room’s elegant surrounds await to host bespoke soirées from a private lunch, special celebration or evening cocktail party. The versatile room means you could enjoy pre-dinner drinks as your guests watch the sun bathe Little Collins Street at the end of the day, then move to a private dining table for up to 15 guests; or enjoy the lounge as your private locale for cocktails and canapes for up to 30 guests in one of the city’s most secret of spaces.

Book one of the city’s glamorous bars

Noted as one of Melbourne’s most stylish cocktail bars, settle into the moody surrounds of marble, leather, wooden barrels and glass bottles ageing spirits and tinctures at La Madonna Bar. The vast and open space provides comfortable couches and dimly lit corners that can be booked for a private celebration with a curated selection of cocktails and a tantalizing selection of snacks arranged for up to 42 guests.

For the culinary curious – La Madonna Restaurant

Setting food critics’ tongues wagging since opening, La Madonna’s restaurant can also accommodate private events. Whether it’s group dining for eight people to exclusive use of the restaurant for up to 60 guests, La Madonna provides a dynamic Melbourne event venue for those who enjoy discovering a new perspective on food and drink. Revel in the chefs’ dedication to spontaneous dishes and a celebration of local produce with the signature Mangiare menu – five courses that take you from snacks to pasta, something more and then sweet to finish – all the while showcasing their distinct culinary style. Wine matching with local and old-world wines can also be arranged.
