About the event
An in-conversation evening is an exciting opportunity to listen to tales of creativity, inspiration and success by a renowned Australian author in a beautiful and intimate setting. MGallery and The Wheeler Centre have invited award-winning authors to stay in residence at one of the nine hotels in the collection so they can create a special story inspired by their stay.
MGallery is a collection of boutique hotels, each with its own story – historic or contemporary. Robyn Annear, historian and author of Bearbrass: Imagining Early Melbourne, will be the special guest at the majestic Grand Hotel Melbourne, a member of the MGallery collection, for this exceptional event.
Come and treat yourself to a magical event in the unique ambience of this historic building. Enjoy a creative menu of fresh, local produce. Expect Taittinger champagne and tantalising canapés on arrival followed by a three-course dinner with fine wines.
