This stunning property is all about 'COOL' from the moment you arrive in the eclectic space (an architectural gem) to the rooms themselves. An open area for the bar and casual dining, with fireplace and funky objects on display as well as a massive descending staircase that takes you to a first-class cinema (no need to leave the hotel) and at the time of my stay the Scandinavian Film Festival was on show! If only they had not closed their dining room, an inviting space with an excellent menu for the omnivorous plant-loving dinners: now just a simple spot in the bar with a limited choice :(

Stay was ok staff were lovely at check in but didn’t think this was a 5 star that people raved over. We stayed in the meandering room. No sports stations on the tv, facilities were low and wasn’t what we felt people raved about.

Comfortable stay with room for improvements

The bed was very comfortable. Candy bar had lindt chocolate during Easter which was amazing treat for kids. Booked room for three but was only provided towels for two, had to request room service to deliver another one. Hotel Parking was third party run and not easy, straight forward. Breakfast was just ok.

Interesting architecture but the interior lighting is really poorly designed. We needed a head torch inside our room to locate switches and plugs and the 'mood' lighting in the hallways made it almost impossible to see room numbers on the doors. With no ability to increase the level of lighting in rooms this suggests little attention has been paid to practicality. The rest of the hotel was interesting and the staff excellent...but we would not stay there again.

Well worth a repeat stay.

Friendly and helpful service in a contemporary hotel with atmospheric drinks and dining. Excellent breakfast. Compact rooms are snug. Convenient to Canberra CBD and Arts Precinct.
