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
Lorraine C
Great location though major roadworks going on around the hotel, good signage made access easy. Our room was clean but in need of an update. Good size though and good mini bar selection. The service was good, very helpful in regards to access with bikes. Bar service was fine, busy night for them. We would come back and try and get a more recently renovated room.

The staff were amazing so helpful and kind. The lady on reception who checked me in was so helpful when I had realised I booked the wrong room and was flustered. I also had an event at the QT on the top floor Friday night which was amazing. The food and drinks were great but the staff were unreal especially the lady who helped with the IT issues I was having. Great spot to stay and have an event

I booked three nights at QT Canberra before I read the many negative reviews but I’m so glad I didn’t cancel because not only was the room rate excellent value for such a centrally located hotel but the inclusions (free parking, free breakfast, free welcome cocktail) made my stay even better. Yes, there are major earthworks outside the front of the hotel but inside the staff go out of their way to be warmly attentive and obliging. The food was good, the drinks were generous and my room, admittedly on the non-construction side of the hotel, was clean, comfortable, well provisioned and quiet. QT Canberra is doing a great job in trying circumstances.

Overall good experience but not amazing. Pros: Clean room Nice bar and restaurant Helpful staff Cons: They put a note under our door to say that breakfast will end at 9 am instead of the usual 10 am on Christmas day. We completely missed the note and went to have breakfast ( included in our package ) at 9:30 am and was told that it ended. They didn’t make any effort to give us any food to compensate, even though later I found out they were still offering room service until 10 am so they could have offered food to us as we paid for it. We were left starving on Christmas morning because we could not find anywhere open to buy food. Very very disappointed. They could have put sth up in the lobby or near the lift to make sure the guests are informed about the changes, instead of a little note…

From ordinary to extraordinary! Unfortunately the government building site next door decided to do some late building works without advising the hotel. So there was some noise. So make sure when booking that you ensure you are on the view side overlooking Parliament House in the distance. The hotel quickly changed our room without anny fuss cause of the late night noise. So our experience just went from decent to outstanding thanks to a room change and some thoughtful vouchers. The new view is simply breathtaking and we couldn't be happier with our decision to choose this hotel. Kudos to the staff for going the extra mile and changing the room swiftly. Had a fantastic meal last night at the hotel and it was outstanding. The service, food and environment wonderful! Breakfast was just as good with massive servings. Staff are all attentive. Lovely hotel. The hotel has a twist of political decoration. Nice areas to sit and bar. Highly recommend
