Forrest Hotel and Apartments offers hotel rooms and serviced apartments in a quiet, leafy part of Canberra, with the Parliamentary Triangle close by. The property is positioned for both business and leisure stays, and provides accommodation ranging from Standard through to Executive options. Guests can choose from queen and twin rooms, as well as one- and two-bedroom apartments, making it suitable for short visits and longer holidays alike.
The setting is one of the property's main features. Its serviced apartments include tranquil courtyards and undercover barbecue facilities, while complimentary parking and Wi-Fi are available for guests. The property is non-smoking, and its location puts Parliament House within a short stroll. Manuka Village's cafés and restaurants are also close by, while the National Gallery of Australia, National Portrait Gallery, Old Parliament House, the Old Bus Depot Markets and Lake Burley Griffin are all accessible from the hotel. Canberra Airport is described as around a 25-minute drive away.
For food and drink, Sherwood Restaurant & Bar provides takeaway and room service on weekdays from 5pm. The website lists a range of substantial options, including vegetarian and meat pizzas, seafood basket, chicken parma and grain-fed red sirloin, with chips, salad or vegetables accompanying some dishes. Breakfast is not currently served in the restaurant, but continental breakfast packs are available to buy from reception. This gives guests a practical option for starting the day without needing to leave the property early.
With room types suited to different lengths of stay, apartment facilities for added independence and a position near Canberra's major attractions, Forrest Hotel and Apartments is a practical choice for visitors exploring the capital or working in the Parliamentary Business District. It may appeal particularly to travellers who value on-site parking, apartment-style accommodation and easy access to Manuka, Parliament House and the surrounding national institutions.
