Canberra's Hotel Realm is a five-star hotel on National Circuit Barton, next to the Parliamentary Triangle. Found within walking distance of at least three national icons (Parliament House, the National Gallery of Australia and the National Library of Australia), it seems fitting that the hotel and its function spaces be of the multi-award-winning variety. Along with a slew of elegant guest rooms, five-star facilities, and casual and fine dining options, Hotel Realm offers a number of function and event spaces. Flooded with natural light and ranging in size, there are four boardrooms available for groups. Additionally, the Hotel Realm boasts a sophisticated ballroom (ideal for weddings) and stylishly designed High Courtyards. Hotel Realm is ideal for those visiting Canberra on business, locals in need of meeting rooms or space for a conference, as well as for larger-scale events like gala dinners.

Reviews for Hotel Realm

Our family trip to Canberra wouldn't have been the same without our stay at Hotel Realm! It was absolutely perfect for us with young kids. They had a blast splashing around in the heated pool and spa, and my husband and I enjoyed the steam room, and sauna. The buffet breakfast was average (but a win with the kids!), and the staff couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. The family room was amazing (2 bedrooms) - spacious, comfortable, and clean. The kitchen had a microwave, fridge, dishwasher, and washer/dryer, which was frequently used! The bathroom was big too, and the kids loved the jetted bathtub. Parking was affordable at $15 a night, which is cheap coming from Sydney! Honestly, we couldn't find a single fault with Hotel Realm. It's luxurious yet surprisingly family-friendly and well-priced. We highly recommend it!

Room was spacious with comfy bed. The suite comes with a living room and a kitchenette. It has a washing machine and dryer combo which we didn’t use. The hotel’s pool is small, max 3 swimmers at the same time. The gym is adequate. Staffs are excellent, accomodating and efficient. It’s not exactly in the city centre, but 7min drive.

During 2020, I lived in this hotel 4-5 nights a week. The staff took particular care to understand the pressures of travel during covid, gave me special considerations and made me feel very welcome. I met the mother of my child in this hotel, tried every menu item (food and drinks), tried every room type and even isolated multiple times in its rooms. I found my sanity using the gym and pool, and was welcome to use facilities across all hotels in the precinct. When my family visits, they are welcome at realm, look forward to coming back each anniversary for a staycation now that I live in Canberra. Close to parliament, but central when staying for holiday reasons too and walking distance to a number of nice walks etc. You also have to try chairman and yip whilst here

We stayed for a long weekend in a suite, room was big, nice lounge, big bedroom and a nicely equipped kitchen. Only criticism would be the bathroom, far too small for the size of the suite, Ok for one person but not for 2. Bar was great, decent food, good selection of drinks and a nice fire pit to sit around at night. Restaurant was very good. We nearly didn't book the hotel because the photos mage the rooms look very stark, but they are not and we are glad we did go. Highly recommended.

Staff were lovely but the rooms were pretty tired. Seems only a surface clean is ever done (see attached photos of shower vent and recess). We had request a cot for our toddler, were provided with a travel cot, no bedding included so something to be mindful of if travelling with a baby or toddler.
