The InterContinental Melbourne The Rialto is offering a fantastic rate for guests of the 2011 Christmas Polo.
Event
The 2011 Christmas Polo offers a fresh and exciting option in Corporate Hospitality. Each year the major Polo events are held in Sydney and Melbourne and the days have an atmosphere somewhat like a relaxed version of the Spring Racing Carnival, with suits and ties swapped for slacks and shirts.
The 2011 Christmas Polo is a fantastic way to entertain clients in Melbourne and this year it is being held on the afternoon of Saturday 26th of November at Werribee Mansion. The 2011 Christmas Polo attracts a large contingent of corporate companies in private marquees and families and friends in their own car park sites. Entertainment is provided throughout the day to complement the Polo as well as a number of celebrities in attendance. We have a range of packages to suit all group sizes and budgets.
