Canberra finally gets an international-grade luxury hotel in its city centre.

The place
The hotel rises on Bunda Street at Garema Place, opposite Canberra Centre, in the heart of the Civic city centre: a site the capital has lacked a five-star address for.
The concept
A new-build, 10-storey tower whose curved facade nods to the city's parliamentary architecture, with interiors that pay tribute to Marion Mahony Griffin, one of the world's first licensed female architects and a formative figure in Canberra's design. It positions Crystalbrook's fifth property as the first true international luxury hotel in the national capital's downtown.
Dining & wellness
A modern European rooftop restaurant, ground-floor dining, and a wellness precinct including Crystalbrook's Eléme Day Spa, sauna, pool and gym.
