Continuing its $30 million transformation, Sydney’s Manly Pacific has unveiled its new beachside conference and events space.

Overlooking Manly Beach, the venue offers more than 1,000 square metres of well-equipped, flexible function spaces of varying sizes, featuring state-of-the-art audiovisual and laser projector technology.

There are nine flexible function rooms, named after local beaches such as Shelly Beach, Fairy Bower, and Freshwater, and a pillarless ballroom which can host up to 500 seated or 550 standing.

Decked out with Coco Republic interiors, the bright and airy venue features floor-to-ceiling windows which bathe the space in natural daylight and afford sprawling beachfront views. Spacious outdoor weatherproof terraces are ideal offer a refreshing space for breaks or cocktails.

Each aspect of the hotel and venue showcases the area’s coastal lifestyle, with corporate activities such as kayaking, nature walks, meditation, boot camps and beach yoga sessions, that can easily be arranged by the events team.

There are fresh culinary options and bespoke menus created by executive chef Ryan Dawson from Bistro Manly as well as quality barista-made coffee in the newly refined conference breakout bar, using Seven Miles roasted beans which are produced locally in Manly Vale.

“In more recent times, we’ve seen that MICE guests’ needs have changed, wanting to mix business with leisure,” Manly Pacific general manager, Dylan Cole said.

“With front-row seats to Manly Beach, you get the feeling you’re having a meeting on the waterfront, basking in the rays of sunlight coming in through the windows. With our new elevated design and technology, coupled with the best of local Manly suppliers, we look forward to welcoming a new wave of MICE business to the area.”

Located just 18 minutes from Sydney CBD, Manly Pacific is part of Accor’s MGallery Hotel Collection and will feature 213 rooms, an exclusive residence, nine suites with ocean-inspired wellness experiences, and a rooftop pool.
