Only dates printed on an official page appear here, with the page they came from. Anything without a date is left out.

What these dates mean for a stay

  • Late check-out is not offered during special events, so a stay that ends on Cup Day or another event day should plan on 11am.
  • Valet and car-park surcharges can apply before selected AFL, Marvel Stadium and other special events.
  • Restaurant sittings on 3 and 5 November and 31 December are booked through Crown, not through this site.

Melbourne Cup and Crown Oaks Day are listed here as hospitality dates at Crown venues. This site carries no racing tips, odds or betting of any kind.
