PERCHED on Geelong’s stunning waterfront, Crowne Plaza Geelong has officially opened its doors, inviting visitors and locals to experience the best of the city from one unique location.
While Crowne Plaza Geelong offers a premium stay for travellers to explore the region, the hotel is equally designed as a destination for the Geelong community: a place to meet, dine, unwind and connect by the bay.
Guest rooms are thoughtfully designed with either sweeping bay views or meandering outlooks across the urban city landscape, inviting locals to a staycation to experience their city from a different perspective.
The indoor heated pool and fitness centre support year-round wellness, making it easy to maintain routine and relax in comfort.
A major drawcard is the hotel’s food and beverage offering.
At its heart is Sociali Trattoria and Bar all day dining, a vibrant, welcoming venue that champions coastal Italian flavours and local produce.
House-made pizza, pasta and gnocchi take centre stage along with local wines and beers.
It’s a space designed for connection, perfect for any event from casual breakfasts and long lunches to vibrant dinners with family and friends.
Up above, the Skyline Bar on level 10 takes Geelong’s bar scene to new heights.
With panoramic views stretching across the bay, Skyline Bar is quickly establishing itself as one of Geelong’s most compelling vantage points.

There’s a cosmopolitan energy here, particularly at sunset, as locals and visitors alike gather.
Delectable sharing plates featuring local produce and distinct cocktails are set against an endless oceanic backdrop that feels both elevated and distinctly Geelong.
At street level, Verde on Smythe cafe offers casual, everyday fare.
With barista-made coffee, fresh sandwiches and pastries, Verde slots seamlessly into the rhythm of the day.
Crowne Plaza Geelong also has flexible function spaces available to suit your every need – from weddings and birthdays to corporate events and conferences.
A dedicated events team delivers dream events as a complimentary service.
The Waterfront Room stands out in particular, offering a light-filled space with expansive bay views that elevate any occasion.
Set beside the soon-to-open Nyaal Banyul Geelong Convention and Event Centre, Crowne Plaza Geelong amplifies what makes Geelong unique in the first place: its waterfront charm, community spirit, evolving food scene and balance of ambition and lifestyle.
Crowne Plaza Geelong marks another step in Geelong’s story – one where Geelong is a destination in its own right, for travellers and locals to equally enjoy.
It’s a place to gather over good food, take in sweeping views and proudly connect within a new landmark that is redefining Geelong’s waterfront precinct.
