This winter, the eastern suburbs of Melbourne are set to welcome an unforgettable new dining experience as Mercure Melbourne Doncaster unveils its enchanting Winter Igloos – a limited-time pop-up on the hotel's elevated Tower Terrace.

From now until 30 September, guests can immerse themselves in a one-of-a-kind culinary escape featuring private igloos, panoramic views of the Dandenong Ranges and the Melbourne CBD, and a seasonal sharing-style menu, all designed for maximum comfort, warmth, and winter indulgence.

“This is not your average dinner out,” says Cameron Abbott, General Manager at Mercure Melbourne Doncaster. “Our Winter Igloos are about transforming a meal into a moment, whether it's a romantic night under the stars or a cosy gathering with friends. We're thrilled to bring something truly unique to the eastern suburbs.”

Each igloo is thoughtfully styled with ambient lighting, plush blankets, and personal heaters, creating a snug retreat perfect for winter. The igloos accommodate groups of 2 to 8 people (Please note: Exclusive use is not guaranteed unless booked for 8 guests), with a specially curated share-style menu where guests can choose from 4, 5, or 6 seasonal dishes. Perfectly positioned on the hotel's third-floor terrace, this outdoor dining with views experience is set to become one of the most talked-about Melbourne winter events. Whether you're a local looking for something new or visiting from the city, this is the ideal destination for igloo dining in Doncaster.

Bookings are essential, with a minimum of 24-hour notice and a $50 deposit per person. Guests can book online or by calling (03) 9843 8900.
Prices start at $59 per person for 4 dishes, with session durations lasting 3 hours and available daily from 12 pm to 8 pm.
