Visitors are often struck by the architectural brilliance of MCEC, which has won some of Australia’s most prestigious architecture and design awards. The Exhibition Centre opened in 1996 and was created by Denton Corker Marshall, a Melbourne architectural firm responsible for many of Melbourne’s larger buildings through the early 1990s, and features their characteristic “blade” entrance. Its main entrance of metal blades tilted at an angle and supported by a pair of yellow rods has placed it on the list of Melbourne’s most iconic buildings. In 1996 the Exhibition Centre was awarded the Sir Zelman Cowen Award for public architecture. The WRAP on Southbank is located close by to the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Center, which is one of the best Hotels in Melbourne South Bank. The WRAP on Southbank is located on a very convenient location, and is a most sought after hotel, specially being located on the famous Palmer Street. The apartment complexes are modern, elegant and spacious and comes with their own separate dining, private balconies and lounge areas. These luxury apartments are ideal for either a business or a leisure visit.
Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Center has been recognized as Australasia’s Leading Meetings and Conference Centre in 2014, 2013 and 2012 by the prestigious World Travel Awards. MCEC is the place to connect people and ideas. The center has a multi-functional Plenary, 52 meeting rooms and 30,000 square meters of pillar-less exhibition space. The Exhibition Centre has hosted everything from meetings, conventions and exhibitions to concerts, tradeshows and gala dinners. The Melbourne Exhibition Centre has become an icon in Melbourne due to the main entrance which consists of metal blades tilted at an angle and supported by a pair of yellow rods which is hard to miss even among its more prominent neighbors.
