Why it's worth checking out

Meriton Suites Canberra offers apartment-style accommodation on Allara Street in Civic, close to the city centre. Its CBD position places guests near Parliament House, Capital Hill, the National Convention Centre, Australian National University, and Canberra’s galleries and museums. The hotel is also within walking distance of Glebe Park and Commonwealth Park, with food, nightlife and city attractions nearby.

The main draw is space. Guests can choose from studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom and three-bedroom suites, along with a small number of premium penthouse and split-level loft suites. The studio is an open-plan 41-square-metre space for up to two people, with a king-sized bed, private balcony, kitchenette, dining and cooking equipment, a separate shower, and an internal laundry with washing machine and dryer. The suites are set up for a stay that feels more self-contained than a standard hotel room, making the property a practical option for longer visits, couples and families or groups booking larger accommodation.

Facilities extend beyond the suites. There is an all-hours fitness centre, an indoor heated pool and spa in the rooftop leisure area, a sauna, luggage storage, a meeting room and an early arrivals lounge. Suites include free unlimited Wi-Fi, individually controlled air-conditioning, flat-screen televisions with StayCast streaming, and coffee and tea-making facilities. The hotel also lists opening windows, private balconies, wheelchair-accessible suites, in-suite laundry and onsite EV charging among its features. Penthouse guests have additional bathroom amenities, GHD styling tools and Nespresso coffee machines.

The location works well as a base for exploring Canberra’s cultural and outdoor side. Visitors can walk or use public transport to reach the Australian War Memorial, National Portrait Gallery, Old Parliament House and Questacon, while the Mount Ainslie Kokoda Memorial Trail and Mount Majura walking trail are a short drive away. The hotel also highlights access to Lake Burley Griffin, Commonwealth Park and the annual Floriade festival. With 24-hour guest services available, Meriton Suites Canberra suits travellers who want central accommodation with room to settle in, whether visiting for business, sightseeing or a longer Canberra stay.
