Sydney’s beachfront conference venue, the newly rebranded Novotel Manly Pacific has transformed their look with a multi-million dollar refurbishment that has seen two new ocean view terraces added, as well as a facelift to its bar areas and all its ocean-view rooms.

The first-floor conference terraces are best suited to morning and afternoon teas, conference lunches and cocktail functions, with overhead cover from the elements and views over Manly Beach. The Ballroom terrace can cater for 200 guests for cocktails or 132 seated, while the Gilbert Terrace suits 100 guests for cocktails or 90 seated. The venue offers 8 flexible function rooms with the new addition of its beachfront terrace.

On the ground floor, a new Lobby Bar and Charlie’s Bar have created a completely new sense of arrival and provide new and unusual spaces for conference organisers. Inspired by its beachside location, Charlie’s bar boasts bi-fold doors opening onto Manly Beach, modern interiors and lots of natural sunshine. Upstairs, Sable offers a more sophisticated venue with sumptuous furnishings, several private nooks for intimate gatherings and a wide open terrace with comfortable lounges overlooking the sand and the sea.
