From 11 to 15 May 2026, Australian Fashion Week (AFW) celebrates its 30th anniversary with a landmark move to the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia (MCA). Set against the iconic backdrop of Sydney Harbour, this year’s schedule promises a sophisticated fusion of contemporary art and cutting-edge Australian design.

Your Front-Row Sanctuary

Located at 203 Castlereagh Street, The Porter House Hotel Sydney – MGallery is the premier choice for those seeking luxury heritage in the heart of the city. We offer an effortless connection to the new AFW hub:

• Short Tram Ride to The Rocks: Skip the 23-minute walk and hop on the L2 or L3 Light Rail at the QVB or Town Hall stations (just moments from our door). It’s a short, scenic ride directly to Circular Quay, placing you at the MCA entrance in minutes.

• Designed for the Industry: Our rooms and suites provide a spacious, elegant environment for outfit changes, content creation, and rest between the back-to-back schedule of shows.

• Pre-Show Aperitifs: Join our team at the bar for a signature cocktail before heading to the harbourside for satellite activations and designer presentations.
