The Pullman Melbourne On The Park sits on Wellington Parade in East Melbourne, across from the Melbourne Cricket Ground and next to Fitzroy Gardens. It is a short walk, tram or train ride from the CBD, with Jolimont Station just across the road, so delegates can get to and from the venue easily.

Pullman East Melbourne
Melbourne is known for its laneway cafés, live music, galleries and food, from cheap eats to fine dining. The city centre is compact and easy to get around, with Australia’s largest tram network linking the conference venue to the CBD, the Yarra River precinct and the Royal Botanic Gardens. Delegates staying on after the program can visit the National Gallery of Victoria, see a match at the MCG, or take a day trip to the Yarra Valley wine region or the Great Ocean Road.
The hotel is roughly a 30-minute drive from Melbourne Airport, depending on traffic. If you’re using public transport, take SkyBus to Southern Cross Station, then a train to Jolimont-MCG (changing at Flinders Street) or a taxi for the last leg.
Self-parking is available at $45 per day. To get this rate, give your registration number to reception or the concierge before you leave. If you don’t, public rates will apply. Height restrictions apply, and wheelchair-accessible parking is available on site.
The closest station is Jolimont-MCG, directly opposite the hotel. It is served by the Mernda line and the Hurstbridge line. Any train on either line will stop there.
From the CBD (Flinders Street, Southern Cross, Flagstaff, Melbourne Central or Parliament):
Board any Mernda or Hurstbridge train heading out of the city. Most services run through the City Loop, so you can get on at any of these five stations. From Parliament, Jolimont-MCG is the next stop. At some times of day, trains run direct from Flinders Street instead of through the Loop. If you’re at a Loop station and no Mernda or Hurstbridge train is listed, go to Flinders Street and board there. Check the destination on the platform screens before boarding.
From the airport via SkyBus:
SkyBus arrives at Southern Cross Station. From there, take a Mernda or Hurstbridge train to Jolimont-MCG. If the train runs through the City Loop, there’s no need to change.
Routes 48 and 75 run along Wellington Parade past the hotel. The hotel’s stop is outside the Free Tram Zone, so you will need to touch on with a myki. Alternatively, get off at stop 8 Spring St/Flinders St (route 75) or stop 8 Spring St/Collins St (route 48) and walk 10–15 minutes along Wellington Parade.
All social functions are included in full registration tickets
