Nissan Lounge – Premium MCG Hospitality Suite
The Nissan Lounge at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) is a premier hospitality suite designed for guests who want the luxury of a MCG Corporate Box experience without the need for a full 12-seat private suite.
This exclusive facility offers a syndicated sit down dining corporate suite with stunning views, elevated catering, and a social, flexible format – tables of 8.
Perfect for all AFL games, cricket internationals, or special events, the Nissan Lounge accommodates individual bookings for any number of guests, with capacity for up to 60 guests for major fixtures. It’s the ultimate choice for clients wanting to entertain in style without committing to a private box – or for larger corporate groups looking to take over the entire space.
Recently refurbished, the suite features armchair-style seating, floor-to-ceiling glass frontage, and a grazing-style food and beverage experience throughout the day or evening. The atmosphere is lively yet refined – ideal for professional networking or premium social outings.
