Game, Set, Spritz!

This summer, QT Melbourne is serving a game set to match the on-court action at The Australian Open. Not only will our hotel’s popular dining destinations be the place to see and be seen pre, during and post-match, but we will be (un)officially responsible for all the tennis-goers hydrated in partnership with Aperol Spritz this Summer.

Kicking off on the 3rd of Jan, our Russell Street lobby to The Rooftop will come alive with activation’s throughout the hotel, decorated with splashes of Aperol-orange. The Cake Shop on the ground floor will transform into a country club in the city, featuring green turf and white furniture and serving Aperol Spritz exclusively!

Meanwhile, The Rooftop at QT upstairs will embrace the Australian Open spirit with a life-size bright orange tennis court installed next to the bar. Guests will have the chance to win their very own Grand Slam, with Nintendo Wiis fixed to the screens for virtual matches.

Games aside, racquets down means more hands for a drink, and naturally The Rooftop has hydration needs covered with a special ‘Club Aperol’ menu. Alongside the classic Spritz, our team will be mixing spritz and other cocktails that highlight Aperol’s versatility. The Paloma In Venice will be a crowd favorite, mixed with Aperol, Espolon Tequila and topped with Grapefruit Soda.

Food? You could call it a feast. After working up an appetite, guests can tuck into the delicious Rooftop at QT menu including Mozzarella & Herb Arancini, Korean Sticky Wings & Drums and a selection of cured meats and cheese.

With stunning views across Melbourne’s city skyline, refresh and refuel with us whilst watching all the action play out on the big screen!
