Step into Spring’s Most Stylish Melbourne Cup Luncheon in the Frangipani Ballroom.

This season, embrace a world alive with colour as the race that stops the nation comes to life across three expansive 4-metre screens. Experience the thrill of Cup Day with a vibrant three-course alternate-drop lunch, complemented by flowing Champagne, crafted cocktails and premium wines, setting the stage for an unforgettable celebration of racing, style and springtime flair.
