The enchanting event, held at Grand Hyatt Melbourne, highlighted the hotels bold event concepts with the creation of an immersive environment especially created for the Living Grand event. The hotels signature event space, the residence was transformed into an opulent 'floral fantasy' environment.

Hyatt guests from around Australia were treated to a bespoke dinner in the secret-garden stylised concept, inspiring a plethora of culinary delights uniquely crafted by Executive Chef Jason Camilllo and his culinary team. The food offerings created a sense of alchemy while the theatrics of the good and evil dining experience complemented the overall theme.

The courtyard of the residence was discreetly transformed during the event to create a surprise contrast from the garden room with a dramatic dessert reveal encompassing a digital garden concept. Laser lighting completed the multi-sensory experience while strong theatrical elements featured throughout the night. An array of surprises in the garden captivated guests including a live pony – Pipsqueak and an animatronic wolf to ensure a sublet sinister twist in the striking environment. A surprise appearance from the Melbourne Opera performing O'Fortuna was just one of many enthralling elements created for the event.
