QT Canberra — home to Canberra’s most unique and largest hotel conference venues!
Whether you're on the hunt for a private space to sound out a new campaign direction, or an impressive designer space geared to ignite a spending spree in potential supporters, QT Canberra has the perfect space just for you, with eight function rooms and a capacity of up to 1000.
A wide array of conference spaces with the signature QT talents of quirk and creativity to make a strong statement in the form of a memorable function.
Located in the cultural precinct of New Acton, the former Lakeside Hotel property has been home to many a handshake deal and long lunch. The redesigned building was embraced by new technology, distinctive art and cutting-edge design. QT Canberra has extensive experience in delivering exceptional events with the largest hotel function venue in the Canberra region.
The interconnecting configuration of the QT Ballroom Canberra can also be partitioned into three separate function rooms, with the banquet floor also offering five additional rooms providing exceptional facilities for smaller meetings, workshops or breakouts. The pillar-less rooms all offer natural light with floor-to-ceiling windows and neutral tones throughout.
The QT Canberra team will work with you to create a bespoke event, paying meticulous attention to the smallest of details. From arrival drinks and canapés through to marquee hire and outdoor areas, we will work with you every step of the way to ensure your event is a success.
The property has invested in the best internet capabilities in Canberra, as WiFi becomes essential rather than an option at all events. All delegates are offered free WiFi for their duration in the hotel. All rooms include data projectors and drop screens and interactive digital screening linked from the foyer to the function floor, crossing over all rooms.
QT Canberra’s award-winning concept restaurant Capitol Bar and Grill is a Chicago-style grill with an Italian twist offering a range of fine wine, bistro classics and future favourites, whilst the hotel offers a number of exclusive retreats, secret rooms and guest suites kitted out with designer decor and mod cons.
There is also the added advantage of deluxe accommodation at QT Canberra with its 205 guest suites, which all have balcony views of the city and lakeside, quirky QT Mini bar — crowned "Best Superior Hotel" at the 2017 ACT AHA Awards, and designer decor with all the savvy mod cons delegates need to get the job done — including free WiFi, in-room movies and Nespresso machines.

Reviews for QT Canberra

Review: Stylish vibe, but let down by dated rooms and breakfast policy Overall Rating: 3/5 Stars My stay at the Qt Canberra was a bit of a mixed bag. While the hotel has a cool concept, there are several areas that need improvement to match its reputation. Rooms & Service The design of the hotel is definitely unique, but the rooms themselves felt quite dated. You can really see the age of the furnishings, and they lack the freshness you’d expect at this price point. Furthermore, the housekeeping service was only mediocre—it wasn't bad, but it lacked the thoroughness and attention to detail I expected. Breakfast: High quality, poor transparency The breakfast experience was the biggest disappointment, despite the food itself. On the positive side, the meals were delicious and beautifully presented. Qualitatively, the kitchen does a great job. However, I was disappointed to find no breakfast buffet; it was à la carte only. What bothered me most was the lack of transparency: additional drinks, such as a second coffee, were charged extra. This was never mentioned during the ordering process, making the extra costs an unpleasant surprise on the final bill. Summary: The food tastes good, but the lack of a buffet and the hidden charges for basic items like extra coffee—without any prior warning—felt like poor service. Combined with the aging rooms, it makes for a stay that doesn't quite live up to its potential.

I was excited to stay at QT Canberra, having previously stayed at other QT properties and had great experiences. Unfortunately, while this hotel has the same QT personality and aesthetic on the surface, it was difficult to ignore that the property feels quite dated. In my room, the carpet was lifting in places, which immediately gave the sense that the hotel is in need of some maintenance and updating. The main issue, however, was the bathroom. On both nights of my two-night stay, I had to call reception because there was no hot water. While staff were lovely and responsive, it took close to half an hour each night for the issue to be resolved, which was frustrating and inconvenient. Even once fixed, the shower was still only just warm with fairly low water pressure. I was staying for a work function held onsite, and the dated nature of the building was also apparent in the business facilities. Unfortunately, the catering was also below expectations. The food was less than average, one day napkins were not brought out, and the following day there were not enough plates provided for attendees. It is disappointing, as I have enjoyed other QT stays and expected a similar standard. QT Canberra has the brand personality, but the overall experience did not quite meet expectations.

Went to Canberra this past weekend and stayed the night here at the QT. It was lovely. Great location, friendly staff, comfy rooms, very clean. Breakfast was great. Easy check in and check out. Id stay there again and recommend it to anyone.

We had a great stay here quick overnight on our way through. Arrive late and left early. Great value for money. Staff very friendly. Fantastic coffee over the road at Mocan and Green Grout. Great vibe in the restaurant/ bar on ground floor

The QT Canberra is a surprisingly great hotel. While the decor is a little faded the service is good. The room size is good. The food and beverage at the restaurants is really good and they have a lovely big bar area that you can socialise in. The only thing that makes it less than five star is that there is a lot of construction work going on nearby so you have to drive through detours to get there but that's manageable.
