St Kilda icon since 1878, Hotel Esplanade (affectionately known as The Espy) quickly became one of the most luxurious hotels in Melbourne. Over the decades, it welcomed notable guests including Mark Twain. The Espy closed in 2015 for a major restoration and opened again in 2018. She has stood the test of time and we are delighted to offer you the opportunity to see how this iconic venue has evolved, as this is the venue for our Annual Melbourne Lunch in November. We will be in a private space, with a private bar and shared amenities. The venue is upstairs with easy lift access available. We encourage you to already mark your calendar and register your attendance interest to ensure that you do not miss this year's event! Share how your year has gone with friends, enjoy laughter, great food and a venue that has surely already peaked your interest! Transport is often a factor for us. To this end please note there are numerous options for parking from on street metered parking, to multi story facilities for you to explore ahead of the event. If attending via public transport, tram stop 136 on tram routes 16 and 96 is directly close to venue. As an interstate or international IBM Alumni Australia member or guest if you are in Melbourne at the time of this event you are welcome to register your interest, as we welcome all. |
