About the venue
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 partition 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 guests 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

The place is a great hotel, the light rail works have really made getting there and staying there unpleasant. It's not their fault, I hope they are being hugely compensated by the ACT Government for interruption of business and convenience. Knowing the Labor Gov in the ACT that's probably not the case, so if you want to support these guys during their tough operating conditions, you should. Just don't expect a quiet night if your room overlooks the construction works. I think their rooms are discounted at the moment, for that reason However the bar pricing is out of this world, watch it when you order wine by the glass, it's about 2x what you'd expect even for the "house" wine.

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

You will need the air conditioning on because the room was warm. Room was missing an alarm clock, the usual bedside bible. It could also do with a night light and more soap in the bathroom and spare sheets for sleeping. Dark carpets will show dirt easily. But generally the room was comfortable, functional and clean. Staff are very friendly and helpful.

Looking forward to my stay there tomorrow, reviews do have some concerning comments about construction noise and room quality, but seeing their overall score of 4.1, is quite good overall. Keen to see how they stack up as one the QT hotels. Will report back on how it was afterwards.

I wish I could give this property less than 1 star! Stayed there two weeks ago and despite complaining, got an email with the exact word for word response as some of the reviews on google as well as the exact wording as my sister when she complained! We wanted to stay here after seeing that it had been refurbished, and worked out very quickly that the lobby and restaurant had been refurbished and that was where it ended. Was booked for 3 nights, stayed one. Would have left that night due to the nature of our room, but unfortunately it was very late at night. Dust EVERYWHERE! the place clearly hadn't been dusted in years. There was human and animal hair on the robes in the wardrobe, the floor in the bathroom was disgusting and hadn't been mopped, and the air con vents so full of dust that when we turned it on, it just spread the dust around. Even the minibar was covered in dust, so clearly the products hadn't been switched out! There were products in the shower for guest use, however the body soap was empty and the shampoo and conditioner was almost empty. I was staying with my sister who gets bad allergies and after 2 hrs in this room, her face swelled, and her nose was very badly blocked. She went to boil the kettle at one point and the kettle was full of dust and mould. When I rang the front desk to explain that we would be checking out I was told " Sorry you feel that way" and " We would offer you a different room, but it seems that you have made up your mind". I reiterated to the front desk that if it wasn't 10pm, we would be leaving right there and then. We then had a very uncomfortable night as we couldn't turn on the heater despite the weather getting into the minuses due to the dust and the noise from the lift, located right near our room, sounded like a jet engine all night! When we checked out in the morning, there wasn't an apology or anything they just processed the refund and we left. My sister ended up contracting allergic conjunctivitis and a bad sinus infection from the one night we spent there and had to the take the rest of the week off work. Have complained and seem to get a form letter response, and have not been contacted since. Will not stay there again
