Boutique Hotels in Canberra

Laid out with geometric precision around the shores of Lake Burley Griffin, Canberra takes its name from an Aboriginal word meaning “meeting place.” So it naturally follows that Australia’s beautiful capital city is a perfect location for a long weekend rendezvous or a clandestine getaway. Nor do you have to have a diplomat’s salary to enjoy a luxurious stay in Canberra. The city caters for all budgets, so you won’t need to spend the GDP of a small country on your stay.  You’ll find everything from pop culture chic to old world colonial opulence in Canberra’s selection of boutique hotels.

You can spend days exploring the monuments and museums of Canberra, and walking its long, broad thoroughfares. You can browse the stalls in the Old Bus Depot Market, and go politician-spotting up at Parliament House. If food is your thing, you’ll find virtually every cuisine on Earth is represented in Canberra: from a-la-carte fare fit for visiting royalty, to Aussie tucker straight from the land. The Canberra evenings are long and languid and you can end every perfect day strolling arm-in-arm down by the lake, watching the rainbow-hued fountains playing in the twilight to the sonorous chimes of the Carillion’s 57 bells.
