Tips from our drivers for Pan Pacific Melbourne

- Book returns at the end of a conference day in advance, as South Wharf traffic peaks when sessions finish.
- Add your flight number if you need an airport transfer from the hotel.
Pan Pacific Melbourne is a large hotel at South Wharf, right next to the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre and overlooking the Yarra. It is a natural choice for conference delegates and exhibition visitors, and it is also used for city getaways and events.
We regularly carry peninsula and Frankston residents attending conferences or trade shows, either for the day or for a few nights at the hotel. Other trips include airport transfers with flight tracking and evening rides to restaurants and theatres around the city. Exhibitors often arrive with display materials or extra bags, so let us know about luggage when you book and we will send a vehicle with room. For multi-day conferences, some guests stay at the hotel during the week and book us to take them home to the peninsula on the final afternoon.
Our wheelchair accessible van and Maxi WAT take passengers in their own chairs, with four-point restraints, lap-sash seatbelts and air-conditioning. Carers travel with the passenger, and NDIS and aged-care accounts are accepted. A fixed quote can be arranged for regular trips during multi-day events.
