Crowne Plaza Canberra by IHG

Crowne Plaza Canberra by IHG offers a city-centre stay with a quieter setting beside Glebe Park. Its tree-lined arrival and spacious lobby atrium set a more relaxed tone than a typical CBD hotel, while the location keeps Canberra’s shops, bars and restaurants within an easy stroll. The National Convention Centre Canberra is about a two-minute walk away, making the hotel practical for conference visitors, and Parliament House is listed as 3km away. Canberra Airport is around a 20-minute drive.

Accommodation ranges from Standard and Premium Rooms to One Bedroom, Diplomatic and Presidential Suites. Some rooms have views towards the park, while the Deluxe Suites provide apartment-style space with a balcony overlooking Glebe Park, a separate living area and a small kitchenette. That gives couples, families and longer-stay guests more room to settle in, while solo travellers and business guests can make use of the hotel’s fitness centre, Wi-Fi and dedicated concierge service. Accessible rooms with twin beds are available, with level or ramp access to the front entrance.

There is plenty on site for a stay that does not rely entirely on the surrounding CBD. Guests can use the seasonal outdoor pool, work out in the fitness centre or ask the concierge about walking and cycling routes around Lake Burley Griffin. Redsalt Restaurant is the hotel’s signature dining room, serving a full buffet breakfast and a menu built around locally sourced ingredients and seasonal influences. For a more casual drink, Lume Bar is the main bar, with cocktails, wines, spirits and bar snacks. The hotel also promotes a daily happy hour from 4.30pm to 5.30pm, giving guests a straightforward option for an early evening drink.

The hotel’s service is structured around both leisure and business stays. Front desk staff welcome arrivals in the atrium, while a dedicated meetings director can arrange board meetings and conferences in the modern meeting rooms. On-site parking is available for $35 per day, subject to availability, and the property has electric vehicle charging ports. Crowne Plaza Canberra suits visitors who want accommodation close to Civic’s activity without giving up access to green space, as well as conference attendees, couples looking for a convenient base and families who value a pool, suites and nearby attractions. It is smoke-free and does not allow pets.
