ABOUT

Located on Albert Park Lake with uninterrupted views of Melbourne’s city skyline,

Carousel is operated by caterer’s food&desire. The ‘Bel Air’ style entry with white

courtyard, palms and turquoise tiled ponds creates a sense of occasion and

glamour. The original revolving carousel has been revived within the white terrazzo

dance floor, while a warm sophisticated blend of fine textures and natural tones

are used to create a minimalistic space.
