Loveliest accommodation in Canberra”

Hotel Kurrajong is an older style building that has been sensitively refurbished whilst still maintaining its authenticity. As one of our former Prime Ministers, Ben Chifley, used this hotel as his main residency during his leadership years, there is a lot of memorabilia that is very interesting and respectfully displayed throughout the hotel. There is a warm and welcoming feeling when you enter and the staff are completely lovely. Chloe in particular on reception is an asset to the hotel. She is very friendly and helpful, while making you feel very welcome. Next time I stay, I'm going to request Ben Chifley's room!

Great older building with historical significance. It has been stylishly updated. The rooms are tasteful and comfortable. We would love to stay there again. The only thing we missed a bit warmer temperatures in the room as well as in the public areas. We could not adjust the aircon in the room. Also it would be lovely to have a real fire place in the entrance hall.

Hotel Kurrajong was a lovely hotel to stay at. Very quiet, I couldn't hear traffic from the street. The rooms were quiet also. Great shower. Comfortable bed and pillows. Not a lot of hotel parking but the front desk happily cancelled my parking ticket when I ended up having to park in public parking on the street. Would definitely stay again.
