An exciting addition to the Royal ICC is the new four star Rydges

Since opening in March 2013, the Royal ICC has hosted high
profile local and international guests including Her Royal Highness,
Princess Anne, Hollywood superstar Arnold Schwarzenegger, iconic
entrepreneur Richard Branson and one of Queensland’s top food
critics, Des Houghton, who gave rave reviews.
The Royal ICC has fast gained a reputation for offering a personalised,
boutique event experience, with exceptional menus using award-winning
produce created by an internationally experienced team of chefs.
This boutique style convention centre features a unique blend of
original hardwood timbers and boasts an industrial heritage façade,

multipurpose venue capable of holding multiple catered events at

Showgrounds Main Arena with grandstands capable of

“Excellence”
“It was one of our most successful events ever, largely
due to the excellent customer service offered by staff
who were friendly, courteous and knowledgeable.
The highly technical nature of a live broadcast event
requires skill and attention to detail and they never
failed to deliver, thus ensuring a smoothly executed
event. “Excellence” is central to our brand, so it was
just fantastic to work with a venue that embodies
everything we stand for.”

New four star hotel
Award-winning food & beverage
The new four star Rydges hotel is located directly across from the Royal
ICC, along what will be Brisbane’s newest and most vibrant cafe strip King Street.
The Royal International Convention Centre (Royal ICC) is the only
convention centre in Australia that can offer clients award-winning food
and wine carefully selected from some of the nation’s most prestigious
competitions.
The contemporary 208 room Rydges hotel adds another dimension
to events within the Brisbane Showgrounds precinct, offering the new
Paddock Bar and Six Acres restaurant along with a gym and swimming
pool. The addition of the new Rydges hotel means Royal ICC guests will
now have the option of onsite accommodation.
Additionally, there is a variety of 3-5 star alternative accommodation
options located within close proximity to the Royal ICC.
Brisbane Showgrounds
Regeneration Project
The $2.9 billion, Brisbane Showgrounds Regeneration Project is one
of the largest mixed-use, urban regeneration projects in Australia and
once completed will be the place where more than 15,000 people will
live, work and play.
This once in a lifetime legacy building project will ensure the
showgrounds become a world-class events and lifestyle precinct,
while at the same time preserving the site’s heritage for future
generations to enjoy. One of the key reasons for the 15 year, $2.9
billion Brisbane Showgrounds Regeneration Project is to generate
year-round vitality throughout the precinct for use by the community
and ensures the Ekka will always continue on the site where it began.
A Royal E X P E R I E N C E
Nowhere else can guests enjoy produce awarded gold, silver and bronze
medals in the prestigious Royal Queensland Food & Wine Show (RQFWS)
and the iconic Royal Queensland Show (Ekka).
The paddock to palate philosophy plays a starring role in the Royal ICC
menus, with food and wine sourced directly from the finest local producers
and entrants in the nation’s most prestigious food and wine competitions.
Some of the stars of the menu include the 2015 winner of Australia’s best
lamb, ‘Tasmanian Royal’, the award-winning JBS Australia ‘Swift Premium
Striploin’ from Western Queensland, grand champion cheese ‘Mil Lel
Superior Parmesan’ along with a selection of trophy winning wines and ice
creams.
From Mooloolaba King Prawns to vegetables from the Lockyer Valley, the
Royal ICC develops relationships with farmers, winemakers and small
producers to ensure we have access to the finest - from paddock to
palate.
Seasonality, locality and quality are the driving forces behind the Royal
ICC’s culinary philosophy.
Our unique connection to the RQFWS benefits our clients – the Royal
ICC is the only venue in the nation to offer these award-winning menus.
Whether it’s an intimate cocktail reception, black-tie ball, week long
corporate event or degustation dinner, the Royal ICC’s expert chefs can
create innovative menus that cater for all occasions, budgets, dietary and
cultural requirements.
