One of the most common briefs the VenueNow team receive at this time of year is\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>Christmas party venues with a view<\/em><\/strong><\/a>. In Melbourne, there are plenty of places to choose from, that will take your party to the next (top) level.\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

There’s something incomparably romantic about Christmas party venues with a view: the sweeping city skyline, the hills in the distance, watching the sunset over the horizon. Venues with a view add that extra element of dramatic sophistication…plus it’s just nice to look at. And it’s a great way to boredom-proof your event. You can’t be bored if you have a stunning view to occupy you.<\/p>\n

Here are some of the best Christmas party venues in Melbourne:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Sofitel<\/p>\n

Sofitel Melbourne on Collins<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"State<\/a><\/p>\n

Arts Centre Melbourne<\/a><\/h3>\n

Where do you wanna start? The Pavilion? With its private balcony that looks out towards the gardens and city lights? Or perhaps you want to go all out, and opt for a view that very few see? Hosting your office Christmas party on stage inside the State Theatre is one of those views that’s hard to beat. And unless you’re one of the dozens of world-class performers that grace its stage each year, chances are it’s a view you’re not likely to see again.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Carlton Club<\/a><\/h3>\n

Location<\/h3>\n

Also, consider the location of the venue and its proximity to public transport or parking options. You don’t want your guests to have difficulty getting to or from the Christmas party venue.<\/p>\n
