Hyatt Hotel Canberra - a Park Hyatt
Hotel is charming and classic due to its heritage and in a great convenient location with plenty of parking. Beautiful room but the bed was old and needs replacing. Not a comfortable sleep, also very noisy as was the hotel itself. Older building, yes, more than likely not to have sound dampening ...
