The Hotel Realm, Canberra’s newest five star venue opened for business September 2007. For people that know Canberra well the hotel was built on the site of the old Macquarie hostel.
Located on National Circuit in Barton the Hotel Realm is an ideal location for business travelers that need access to Parliament House or various government departments. The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade is a few minutes walk away.
The hotel is not only for people in Canberra on business. The central location has you in within easy reach of the airport, city centre, High Court, Questacon, National Library of Australian and the Australian War Memorial.
When you enter the hotel you will notice the large foyer and atrium. There are plenty of seats to sit around and relax while waiting to meet up with other guests or just to relax and read the paper.
The hotel is located, depending on your walking speed, 5-10 minutes from the bar and restaurant scenes of Kingston and Manuka. You will find plenty of food choices as Manuka alone has over 30 restaurants catering to a wide variety of tastes. If you would prefer to stay within the hotel there are also several restaurants which are part of the complex. If you eat at the Hotel Realm there is a nice outdoor seating area to enjoy your meal.
The Hotel Realm has its own beauty salon, 25 metre swimming pool and gym.
Hotel Realm offers their guests 158 hotel and suite style accommodation rooms. The hotel combines contemporary elegance with avant-garde design. The rooms include the luxurious Terrace Suite which looks over Parliament House and features a two story layout. This opulent penthouse is perfect for entertaining. The other room layouts should have something for all travelers accustomed to luxury accommodation.
Many of the rooms that guests can select at the Hotel Realm include a kitchenette and separate living areas. All rooms have a king bed. You can watch a pay movie channel , foxtel or free to air television on the LCD televisions. There is also 24hr room service.
The Realm Hotel is a great location for a conference. Guests can attend the conference by day and enjoy the spacious rooms at night. The conference facilities have a capacity of up to 800 delegates. The national ballroom can be divided into four functional spaces. As in the past I parked in the basement of the hotel I can say it is a very popular conference venue.
If driving to visit or stay at Hotel Realm there is secure underground car parking which is available to in-house guests or for the general public. In-house guests pay $10 per day per car.
Overall if you are looking for a nice modern hotel in the heart of Canberra then the Hotel Realm is an ideal choice.
