Five-Star Beachfront, Without the Distance
Getting your group out of the office doesn’t have to mean a long drive, a domestic flight, or a two-night commitment. InterContinental Sydney Coogee Beach solves the brief that’s harder than it sounds: genuine coastal escape, serious conference infrastructure, close enough to the CBD to be practical.
Following a full refurbishment in 2025 — new rooms, a purpose-built event centre, three new restaurants and bars, and a newly opened Leisure Deck — this is a genuinely transformed property. For planners who last looked at it a few years ago, it’s worth a second look.
Key Features & Event Spaces
Grand Ballroom — Large-Scale Events on the Coast: The pillar-free Grand Ballroom accommodates up to 300 theatre-style or 260 banquet, with high ceilings and a flexible layout suited to conferences, gala dinners, award ceremonies, and product launches. Pre-function spaces adjoin the ballroom for registration, networking, and canapé receptions.
Meeting Rooms—Adaptable by Design: A collection of flexible rooms accommodates 32 to 300 delegates, easily subdivided for breakout sessions, working groups, or concurrent streams. A dedicated private boardroom provides a refined, discreet environment for executive sessions and strategic meetings where confidentiality matters.
Leisure Deck & Outdoor Terrace: The newly opened Leisure Deck is one of the more compelling additions to Sydney’s conference venue landscape. An ocean-facing infinity pool, poolside bar, pickleball courts, and a flexible outdoor event terrace sit directly above Coogee Beach — giving planners a genuinely memorable venue for end-of-day networking, welcome drinks, or informal sessions that don’t need four walls.
Shutters Restaurant & Bar—Function Space with a View: Nestled beachfront, Shutters serves as both a restaurant and a private function space, with shuttered windows framing ocean views across Coogee Beach. It’s a strong option for conference lunches, private client dinners, or social programme inclusions that need atmosphere built in.
Rick Stein Dining: The hotel’s signature restaurant, helmed by internationally renowned chef Rick Stein, anchors the food and beverage offering. Conference catering is built on a wellness-led philosophy — seasonal menus inspired by native Australian ingredients and locally sourced produce, designed to keep delegates energised across a full day programme.
Èliva Spa & Wellness: For multi-day programmes, the onsite Èliva Spa adds a genuine wellness dimension — spa treatments, a fully equipped fitness centre, and the infinity pool available to in-house delegates without leaving the property.
Accommodation: 198 refurbished rooms and suites, including ocean view rooms and balcony options. The hotel is 20 minutes from Sydney Airport, making it accessible for interstate delegates without a complicated transfer.
