Le Méridien Melbourne proudly announces its official partnership with the Tony award-winning musical, Sunset Boulevard. Opera Australia and GWB Entertainment present this Andrew Lloyd Webber masterpiece starring Sarah Brightman.
It is now playing at the historic Princess Theatre, right next to the international 5-star hotel on Bourke St.
A Glimpse into Hollywood’s Golden Age
Sunset Boulevard tells a tale of faded glory and unfulfilled ambition. Stunning sets and costumes evoke Hollywood’s golden age. The new staging features an atmospheric score with hits like “With One Look,” “The Perfect Year,” and “As If We Never Said Goodbye.”
Exclusive Hotel Package
To celebrate this partnership, Le Méridien offers the “Sunset Boulevard VIP Experience.” This curated hotel package includes a one-night stay, two A-Reserve tickets in the dress circle section of the Princess Theatre, complimentary VIP valet parking, two drink vouchers for the Princess Theatre, and a Sunset Boulevard Official Souvenir Program.
This package is available for booking online here. For assistance, email reservations.melbourne@lemeridien.com or call +61 3 9123 3900.
Pre-Theatre Dining and Themed Cocktails
Before the show, guests can enjoy a pre-theatre dinner at Dolly, Le Méridien’s old-world European restaurant. The new Prix Fixe menu is offered at $60 per person from 5 to 6 PM, complete with a glass of wine.
For a quick bite or drink, head to Intermission, the hotel’s 1950s-inspired lobby bar. Here, the Sunset Boulevard-themed cocktail menu includes drinks like Norma’s Negroni, Max’s Manhattan, and Betty’s Bellini. These cocktails, inspired by the 1950s golden age of Hollywood, blend premium spirits and ingredients, capturing the essence of the musical’s characters. Pair these with Le Méridien’s famous Croque Monsieur or an assortment of Petit Plates to share.
After the show, guests can return to Intermission for a nightcap, coffee, or a treat from the late-night dessert bar.
