Melbourne, August 2025– Le Méridien Melbourne — one of the city's leading five-star luxury hotels — unveils La Fête by Le Méridien; a sensational end-of-year festive programme that invites you to host in style, with chef-led menus, versatile venues, and a touch of Parisian flair.  

Running from 15 November to 20 December 2025, La Fête by Le Méridien makes entertaining for corporate Christmas parties and large social gatherings seamless.  

Hosts simply choose a space, select from a suite of seasonal menus, add a beverage package, and the hotel team takes care of the rest. It's luxury without complication, leaving organisers free to focus on the occasion. 

Menus by Executive Chef Hervé Borghini draw on his Bordeaux roots, blending French savoir-faire with Melbourne's energy. For more formal occasions, three-course plated dinners feature signature dishes such as bouillabaisse with local barramundi and duck confit brightened with charred orange.  

Buffets brim with seasonal classics and modern French touches, perfect for long-table gatherings. Cocktail parties take on a lighter rhythm, with roaming canapés and small plates paired to curated beverage packages that keep conversation flowing into the evening. 

The settings are just as considered. Atop the hotel, LE SPLASH — Le Méridien's show-stopping rooftop pool deck and bar, the largest of its kind in Melbourne's CBD — sets the stage for open-air soirées.  

Parliament House provides the backdrop, skyline views frame every angle, and spritzes at sundown add to the atmosphere. Beneath Bourke Street, DOLLY offers a different tempo. The trendy European-inspired bistro pairs velvet booths, moody lighting and curated playlists with a sense of exclusivity, making it one of the city's most in-demand private dining and event destinations. For scale and flexibility, Vaudeville Ballroom is a polished, elegant yet adaptable space, equally suited to a refined long-table lunch or a full awards night with staging, lighting and AV. 

As an added incentive, organisers hosting 80 or more guests will receive a complimentary suite night at Le Méridien Melbourne — extending the spirit of La Fête by Le Méridien beyond the event itself, with the comfort of a five-star stay as the perfect finale. 

Recently recognised in Gourmet Traveller's Top 10 Best Luxury Hotels in Australia and named Best Hotel in Victoria in the Gourmet Traveller 2025 Hotel Guide, Le Méridien Melbourne proudly brings its award-winning credentials to the festive calendar.
