Rooftop Pickleball at Hilton Melbourne Little Queen Street

Overview

Now that the Australian Open is back, it can feel like half the city has a racquet in hand. And it's not just the tennis superstars, with more and more pickleball courts offering a space-saving way to rally it up against your best pals across the city.

Returning with another summer pop-up until Saturday, February 28, Hilton Melbourne Little Queen Street is serving up rooftop pickleball to budding pros and first-timers alike. Free for hotel guests and the public, this fifth-floor perch has aced the experience both on and off the court.

If you head along for a game, you'll encounter a brand-new partnership that elevates the activation in 2026. Teaming up with Mount Franklin, the hotel now has self-serve vending machines stocked with sparkling flavoured water, ready-to-drink cocktails, and refreshing mocktails.

Back on the court, returning partners Game4Padel make sure each sun-soaked match delivers a top-notch experience. Meanwhile, leading racquet brand Head has supplied premium equipment for players, plus a tennis-inspired lobby display that gets you in the mood for some rooftop rallies.
