Hotel Realm
This is a fantastic property. Modern and clean, the rooms are spacious and comfortable. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the hotel is well located. The on-site gym is great if small, and it is so. I’ve having several restaurants either on property or in proximity. Would love to stay again ...

Hyatt Hotel Canberra - a Park Hyatt
This is a top hotel in every regard. It is so refreshing to have the space and luxury compared to a lot of 5 star places which can be bright and shiny but smaller rooms and not as "opulent" as the Hyatt Canberra feels. This was a treat and I travel every week so if in Canberra.....DO IT!
