The property
When it first opened in 1926, the hotel provided Canberra’s burgeoning public servant population with comfortable sleeping quarters and elegant spaces for socialising. Today, visitors can choose between 147 guest rooms, either in the faithfully maintained heritage wing or in the sleek and sympathetically designed contemporary section.
The lobby and the manicured terrace gardens have been restored to their 1920s’ glory and Chifley’s Bar & Grill boasts a beautifully refurbished formal dining room and glassed in terrace with garden views. There are also plenty of modern conveniences on site, including free wifi, a sleek gym, ample conference facilities (including a private dining room) and guest parking.
