Mercure Canberra is a four-star hotel in Braddon, positioned on the corner of Ainslie and Limestone avenues with easy access to Canberra’s city centre. Its location places guests close to shops, entertainment and public transport, while several of the capital’s major attractions are within straightforward walking or driving distance. The Australian War Memorial and Anzac War Memorial are about 500 metres away, Questacon and the Captain Cook Memorial Jet are 1.5 kilometres away, and Parliament House is around 3.5 kilometres from the hotel. Canberra Airport is approximately 10 minutes away by car.

The hotel combines heritage character with contemporary accommodation and practical facilities. There are 129 rooms, ranging from single and queen rooms to king rooms, lofts and two- or three-bedroom apartments. Some rooms include courtyard or garden views, balconies or additional living space, while a pet room is also available. The larger apartments sleep up to six people, making the property suitable for families or groups as well as business travellers, couples and solo visitors. Wi-Fi, air conditioning, room service, an onsite car park, a fitness centre and 24-hour reception are among the listed services.

Dining is available onsite at the Courtyard Restaurant and Olims Bar & Bistro. The restaurant looks over the internal courtyard and gardens and serves an à la carte breakfast menu daily, with the space also available for private lunches, dinners and events. Olims has a relaxed pub-style setting on the ground floor, with a large beer garden looking towards Mount Ainslie. Together, these spaces offer options for a casual drink, a meal without leaving the hotel, or a private gathering.
