Mercure Ballarat Hotel and Convention Centre

Mercure Ballarat Hotel and Convention Centre sits in seven acres of landscaped gardens, giving the stay a calmer setting than a standard city hotel.

The property is a hotel and events venue in Ballarat at 613 Main Road, Golden Point. Its accommodation includes hotel rooms, suites and self-contained apartments, so the stay can be set up either as a simple hotel stop or with more space for a longer visit.

Room details are specific rather than generic. Superior Rooms come with king or twin bedding and contemporary bathrooms, while Junior Suites add a separate living area. Lodge Rooms are set within garden surrounds, and Courtyard Rooms overlook the gardens and include a king bed and single bed.

The stay works well if you want facilities on the property rather than only a room. There is dining at the hotel, and the restaurant is a short walk from the rooms. The property also has a day spa on site, free Wi-Fi, car parking, baggage holding, a bar and a café.

Mercure Ballarat Hotel and Convention Centre is also built around meetings and events. The venue has seven function spaces across the garden setting, including rooms for boardroom-style meetings, celebrations, conferences and gala dinners.

One real limit is the pool. The hotel pool is not functional because of major structural damage and the availability of replacement parts, so it should not be treated as a usable facility when deciding whether to book.
