Where can I find function rooms in Sydney’s CBD?

The Sydney CBD is one of the busiest areas in the city and it offers an impressive range of function rooms. You can find fantastic spaces on King St - from affordable eateries to cocktail lounges and casual bars. Darling Harbour is also worth checking out - this vibrant and lively neighbourhood within the CBD offers a mix of cultural and recreational attractions, as well as a number of fantastic function rooms that you can find in restaurants, cafes and bars offering a range of cuisines to suit all tastes. If you’re looking for something with a pinch of historic and cosy feel, head over to The Rocks which will charm everyone with its cobbled streets, historic buildings and vibrant atmosphere that you can experience by hosting your event in one of the outdoor venues.

When should I book a function room in the Sydney CBD?

We recommend booking as early as you can. Ideally, you should book your first-choice option at least 3 months before the event. If something goes wrong with your plans (for example, a business partner cancels or changes their mind), there will be enough time for you to find an alternative venue and make other arrangements for the date in question. Apart from that, you will have a long list of options to choose from which will make it possible for you to find a space that fully suits your needs.

Booked Satisfaction at Workspace365 Bond Sydney

Great space with everything we needed. The reception/admin team sent me photos of the space prior when requested and allowed the early pick up of a swipe card for an after hours meeting. Communication was great.
