Pan Pacific Melbourne enjoys a prime riverside position at South Wharf, right beside the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre and overlooking the Yarra River. You’re a short walk from Crown Casino, the South Wharf dining and shopping precinct (including DFO outlet shopping), and the free tram zone that links you quickly into the CBD. Flemington Racecourse is easily reachable in around 15–20 minutes, making it a convenient base for the Carnival while still offering riverside views and a more spacious, resort-style feel.
On Lexus Melbourne Cup Day you’ll be transferred to/from Flemington. Airport transfers are not included as standard but can easily be added. We also offer optional river cruise transfers if you’re looking to arrive at the racecourse in style.
The hotel is home to Dock 37 Bar & Kitchen, a contemporary restaurant and bar offering modern Australian and Italian-inspired dishes using local produce, along with an impressive walk-through wine cellar and a full cocktail list. There’s also Café Orr for barista coffee, pastries and lighter meals. Beyond the hotel, South Wharf and nearby Southbank deliver a huge choice of restaurants, bars and casual eateries right on the river, while the CBD’s famous laneway dining is only a short tram or taxi ride away.
The hotel sits on the free tram zone and is well connected for exploring the city. You can walk along the Yarra River promenade to Southbank and the CBD, hop on a free tram into the centre, or take a short taxi or rideshare. Free days during the Carnival are perfect for riverside walks, shopping at nearby DFO, visiting Crown Casino, or heading further afield to the Queen Victoria Market, laneways, or a day trip to the Yarra Valley. Our on-site team can help arrange any excursions or local recommendations.
