Suite Sessions at Crown Sydney Featuring Melanie C
Melanie C, aka Sporty Spice, opens Crown Sydney's 2026 suite sessions with an intimate gig inside Sydney's most expensive hotel room.
Overview
Inside the towering frame of Crown Sydney, Sydney's most luxurious building by a long shot, is one particular hideaway, the Presidential Villa — Sydney's most expensive hotel room. It has welcomed the likes of Taylor Swift, Oprah Winfrey and Drake for $38,000 a night. You can get a taste of that luxury through Suite Sessions — an intimate concert series (think NPR Tiny Desk but with marble and all-the-way-to-the-horizon views instead of desks and bookshelves) that takes place in that very room.
Kicking off the 2026 Suite Sessions series is Melanie C, aka Sporty Spice, who's booked the 88th-floor room for a one-night-only acoustic gig this Thursday, March 12. Split across two sessions (6–8pm and 8.30–10.30pm), the sessions welcome just 90 guests each, with food and drinks provided by Nobu. It's not just music, too; you'll be seated for a Q&A session with the former Spice Girl discussing her life and career in depth.
Melanie C said: "I'm so excited to perform in such a unique setting as the Crown Sydney Presidential Villa. Having the chance to perform acoustically in a beautiful, intimate setting is such a special way to connect with fans and share some of my favourite songs over the years."
Crown Sydney is making the most of the occasion with a Wannabe High Tea following the gigs, hosted at Teahouse from Friday, March 13 to Sunday, March 15. Expect luxe bites, Spice Girls-themed cocktails and plenty of bubbles in an experience that's sure to make your whole group zig-a-zig ah.
Suite Sessions featuring Melanie C take place across two sessions this Thursday, March 12. For more information or to get tickets, visit the website.
