CELEBRATE MELBOURNE CUP BY THE BEACH

Every year, Melbourne Cup transforms Coogee Bay Hotel into one of Sydney's favourite race day destinations. Right by the beach, with flowing bubbles, fresh seafood, live entertainment and biggest outdoor screen in the eastern suburbs, it's more than just watching the race - it's a full day of celebrations.

On Cup Day, we go all out: catch every race live, enjoy seafood platters and picnic feasts, enter the sweepstakes, dress to impress for Best Dressed prizes, and soak up the electric atmosphere with friends, family or colleagues. It's everything you love about Melbourne Cup with a relaxed beachside twist.

Planning something bigger? Our private function spaces are perfect for corporate Melbourne Cup lunches, client events and team celebrations. With flexible catering packages, private balconies overlooking The Garden and experienced event coordinators, we'll help you create a race day your guests won't forget.

And why let the celebrations end there? Stay just steps from the action in one of our 74 boutique hotel rooms and turn Melbourne Cup into a beachside escape. Wake up to ocean views and enjoy the best of Coogee without worrying about the trip home.

So, if you're wondering where to celebrate Melbourne Cup in Sydney, you've found it. Great food, flowing drinks, fantastic company and front-row seats to all the racing action await at Coogee Bay Hotel.
