Grand Foyer at Immigration Museum

About Grand Foyer at Immigration Museum

For elegant dinners and cocktail gatherings

The Grand Foyer is on the first floor and can be accessed by an elegant, ornate staircase that, creates a wonderful sense of anticipation on arrival. Lift access is available. The black and white checkerboard marble floors – carefully re-instated to its original design – and high, detailed ceilings give a sense of old-world sophistication that perfectly suits intimate dinners and cocktail gatherings.

Oversized windows offer abundant natural light and views across the Yarra. At night, the skyline impresses with the colorful lights of dynamic Southbank. The opportunity for something different continues inside, too, with the option of having our surrounding exhibition spaces open for your guests to peruse.

Immigration Museum

A stately city oasis, Immigration Museum is located in heritage-listed Old Customs House, one of Melbourne’s most significant Victorian-era buildings. Overlooking the Yarra River at the business end of Flinders Street – where merchants once unloaded their cargo – discover the calm and elegant spaces inside this carefully restored building.
