Hi there, Melbourne travel and tourism community friends!

Justin and Casey here, back with another Travel Massive Melbourne get-together — and this one's taking us upstairs. We're teaming up with Courtyard by Marriott Melbourne Flagstaff Gardens for an evening on their private rooftop, and they're looking after us with a welcome drink, a grazing table and $10 drinks at the bar. This event is open to anyone working in the travel and tourism industry in MEL.

ABOUT COURTYARD BY MARRIOTT FLAGSTAFF GARDENS

Courtyard by Marriott sits right in Melbourne's West End, opposite leafy Flagstaff Gardens — and it's in the Free Tram Zone, so it's an easy hop from the CBD, or a short walk from Southern Cross Station. Queen Victoria Market, Marvel Stadium and Festival Hall are all just minutes away too. Come for the views, stay for the drinks, and discover a corner of Melbourne you might not get to often.

With 150 contemporary rooms, flexible meeting spaces, an on-site restaurant and a café & bar that keeps things moving from morning coffee to evening drinks, it's a smart base for business and leisure alike — and tonight, their rooftop is ours.

A huge thank you to Courtyard by Marriott for hosting and shouting us the welcome drinks.
