Novotel Melbourne Preston - Family & Business trip hotel - Christmas Parties

The end of the year deserves more than a rushed round of drinks after work. Bring the team together properly at Novotel Melbourne Preston, with flexible spaces, fresh food and a dedicated events team ready to take the pressure off your planning. Whether you’re organising an intimate lunch, a lively cocktail party or a larger company celebration, our Christmas function space in Preston can be shaped around your guest list and the kind of atmosphere you have in mind.

Pick Your Party Style

Every workplace celebrates differently. Some teams want a relaxed afternoon in the beer garden; others are ready for dinner, drinks, speeches and a dance floor. With 15 event spaces accommodating groups of approximately 10 to 250 guests, there’s room to keep things low-key or make a proper night of it. Choose from private indoor rooms and vibrant outdoor areas, then make the space your own. Our events team can help with the practical details, from room layouts and timings to food, drinks and festive touches. You’ll have one less spreadsheet to manage… and far more time to enjoy the party.

Food Worth Gathering Around

Good celebrations tend to start around the table. Our on-site chefs prepare fresh, seasonal food, with options ranging from canapés and shared platters to buffets and plated meals. Common dietary requirements can also be accommodated, so everyone gets to join in. Looking for a Christmas event space in Preston that can handle the drinks as well as dinner? Beverage options can be tailored to suit the occasion, whether that means a polished sit-down meal, casual beers with the team or cocktails to kick off the evening.

Easy for Everyone to Attend

Located on Bell Street, Novotel Melbourne Preston is within walking distance of public transport and convenient for guests travelling from across Melbourne’s north.

No complicated logistics. Just an easy finish to a great night.
