Australian Open 2011 is the summer

Combine business with pleasure as you and your clients witness history unfold over two weeks as they enjoy corporate hospitality at its finest. Experience every emotion from suspense to pure exhilaration as you marvel at the true athleticism and fighting spirit each player possesses as they battle for glory.

We offer exceptional value Corporate Series and Session packages for seating in Rod Laver Arena and Hisense Arena with flexible dining options. The exclusive River Villas are also available and are situated at the best vantage point with sensational views overlooking Melbourne from the Yarra River. The space gives you the opportunity to theme according to your needs and offers privacy.

Australian Open 2010 started with the big comebacks – Clijsters, Henin and Molik and the memorable run by Murray to bring glory back to the UK. Ultimately, Serena Williams claimed her fifth Australian Open championship and Federer took back his crown, achieving his 16th Grand Slam®.

What will become the memorable moments as we take Australian Open 2011 to a whole new level and more importantly, will you be there for it?
