Located in Circular Quay and close to the iconic The Rocks precinct, Karstens Sydney provides an executive venue space that features light-filled rooms, a range of layouts, catering options and stunning Sydney Opera House views. Circular Quay and Wynyard stations are an easy walking distance from the venue.

 

Flexibility: We tailor your event to your requirements, offering a range of flexible seating layouts, break-out areas, natural light, audio/visual configurations and gourmet catering options. We also offer the option to downsize your booking to a smaller or larger room if the number of attendees changes closer to your event date*.

Comfort & Space: All Karstens function spaces provide rooms with natural daylight, comfortable breakout areas, free Wi-Fi, Nespresso coffee and a selection of premium teas. This provides the perfect environment to relax, refresh and network.

Gourmet in-house catering: We strongly believe in quality over quantity, especially when it comes to food. That’s why we offer a full gourmet in-house catering experience with a variety of healthy menu options. Common dietary requirements are provided at no extra cost.

Central CBD Locations with on-site car parking: All of our venues are conveniently located right in the heart of the CBD, close to hotels, cafes, restaurants, shopping and public transport. Each of our multi-purpose venues also offers ample on-site parking (or parking close by) to ensure that your attendees always have an easy arrival and departure. Located in the historic Rocks area of Sydney in the character-filled Quay West building, Karstens Sydney provides a relaxed environment for delegates.

Fully renovated, modern and high-tech: Our venues provide a truly modern executive space fully equipped with the latest technology and infrastructure. This includes comfortable eight-hour chairs, free Wi-Fi, fast fibre optic internet connection and video/telephone conferencing facilities in all rooms (on request).

Dedicated point of contact: We offer a dedicated Conference Coordinator for all your bookings in Australia and New Zealand. Our coordinator ensures that each of your events is managed seamlessly from start to finish. Rebooking or rolling out a road show is easy, as we can rebook your previous event or book the same event across all of our venues.  

Easy booking process: Having to fill out, sign and scan lengthy Terms and Conditions forms is a thing of the past. Just click the link with your quote and fill out the confirmation form and your event is confirmed.

No deposit needed: Unlike other venues, we don’t require a deposit for bookings under $5,000.00. This saves you from having to make two payments and obtain the required approvals — a convenient way to save you time and no need to organise payments before the event. Karstens invoices you after the event.

Cornerstone Performance Management held a two day Knowledge Share conference for our people at Karstens Sydney at the end of July. Nothing was a problem, every last minute issue was fixable, the venue and their wonderful team were utterly professional and incredibly accommodating. We had two days of back to back sessions with lots of external presenters and feedback across the board from staff and guests was glowing. Thank you Bea and Lucy in Sydney, and Sara in Melbourne, for your hard work and fantastic support. If you are looking for a professional venue with world class staff I highly recommend Karstens, they are brilliant.

Elmer, Operations Manager, and his team are excellent to work with and very accommodating - a great customer experience is a major focus for them and nothing is an issue as they are very committed to ensuring your training/conference day is successful. Karstens is a great venue in Sydney’s CBD - easily accessible by public transport and parking close by. There are a variety of different room sizes for use depending on your needs, facilities are available to enhance your presentations ie whiteboards, flip charts, projectors etc, tea and coffee facilities available and, if required, catering can be arranged and provided. If you’re looking for somewhere to run a training session, a conference or an event it would definitely be worthwhile checking out their website for more details and other interstate locations!

I have been a trainer for 20yrars and worked at countless venues. Kartsens was one of my top experiences. The venue was clean, modern and spacious, as well as having a relaxed and welcoming energy. There is also lots of natural light. What made this venue stand out however, was the super superier customer service. The whole experience throughout the day was seamless and I was supported by the staff who always seemed one atep agead of me. They constantly checked in with me and nothing was too much trouble. Location is also very convenient with a parking garage (reasonably priced for the city - check early bird rates) and you are 2 mins walk from Circular Quay.
