Mister micebook is on his way to one of the scenic cities down under…

Ah the envy. When you open your inbox to an invite to the latest GDPR update conference in London and your colleague receives that coveted invite to attend AIME, the Asia Pacific Incentives Meetings event held at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre.

So goodbye UK in the winter sun and hello balmy Melbourne in late summer sunshine.

Accommodation options abound near the exhibition site but for something a tad more designer chic, book a room at the QT Melbourne, an urban-sleek boutique hotel built in a former cinema, with one of the city’s largest rooftop bars for post-conference mooching. VIP dinners and client networking can take place in one of the hotel’s five dining and drinking venues.

Also worth a peek is the new United Places hotel, set on the edge of Melbourne’s iconic Royal Botanic Gardens. This desirable hideaway boasts just 12 suites with butler service, Le Labo toiletries and the ultimate in home-from-home comforts – Netflix.

Future newcomers to the bustling Melbourne hotel scene will include Australia’s first Moxy hotel. Marriott International has announced a new 180-room Moxy hotel in South Yarra, featuring social spaces, a 24/7 self-service grab-and-go food and drinks offering plus the super fast and free Wi-Fi.

Back to the conference, AIME remains a popular draw for global delegates but should Mister micebook find himself with time on his hands, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child has just opened at the Princess Theatre and is currently the hottest ticket in town.
