Canberra's Premier Destination

Where the night remembers you.

Nestled in the heart of Canberra, where the Brindabella ranges paint the horizon at dusk, invites you into a world of velvet-lit casino gaming floors and rooms that hold the warmth of the city long after the stars appear. This is the capital's most captivating address - a place where every sense is coaxed awake and every moment becomes a story worth carrying home.

Live Casino Gaming Above the Lake

Our 4,200-square-metre casino floor sits just 800 metres from Lake Burley Griffin, meaning the glow of the capital's water is always a short stroll away after the last hand is played.

Canberra Seasonal Dining

Our head chef sources produce from the Fyshwick Fresh Food Markets every morning, translating the ACT's cool-climate harvests - truffles, lamb, heritage vegetables - into plates that change with each season.

Rooms Framing the Brindabellas

Every room above the eighth floor offers an unobstructed sightline to the Brindabella mountain range, where alpenglow turns the ridgeline amber at precisely 6:14 on a winter evening.

Guest Reviews

What Our Guests Say

★★★★★

"I came to Canberra for a conference at the National Convention Centre and extended my stay by three nights purely because of this hotel. What surprised me was how quiet and considered everything felt - the gaming floor never once felt rushed or overwhelming, and the staff seemed genuinely invested in making sure I caught the sunset from my terrace. I came expecting a business trip and left feeling like I had actually been on holiday in my own country for the first time in years."

Margaret T. Melbourne, Australia

"My partner and I visit Canberra every October for the Floriade season and we have stayed at several properties over the years, but changed our standard entirely. The Brindabella Suite was the kind of room that makes you renegotiate your own expectations - the mountain light at dawn was something I genuinely did not expect to be moved by. We booked Meridian for our last evening and the truffle dish was, without exaggeration, the finest thing either of us ate all year."

David K. Auckland, New Zealand
★★★★★

"I travel to Canberra several times a year for government meetings and had never found a hotel that understood both the pace of the city and the desire to decompress properly after long days of discussion. The casino floor gave me exactly the kind of low-key evening I needed - unhurried, thoughtfully staffed, and genuinely enjoyable without feeling like a spectacle. The Parliament Terrace Room became my non-negotiable request on every subsequent booking."

Fine Dining

Executive Chef Lena Hartworth built her philosophy around one principle: the ACT's cool continental climate produces ingredients with a depth of flavour that demands restraint, so every dish strips away the unnecessary and lets a single Murrumbateman truffle or a slow-roasted Snowy Mountains lamb shoulder speak for itself. The property houses two distinct dining venues - Meridian, a 64-seat fine dining room with a menu that changes every eight weeks in step with the seasons, and Larder & Light, a relaxed all-day dining space where the morning pastry trolley is filled before 6 a.m. using stone-milled flour from a Bungendore mill. Both rooms share a common atmosphere: timber-lined, softly lit, with the particular quiet of a Canberra evening drifting through, making every meal feel less like a restaurant visit and more like being welcomed into a private home that happens to employ a remarkable kitchen for casino guests and overnight travellers.

The Brindabella Suite Mountain Vista
★★★★★

The Brindabella Suite

Floor-to-ceiling glass frames the entire western mountain range, so the first thing you feel upon waking is the cool blue light of a Canberra dawn pressing gently against your skin. Matte charcoal stone, hand-stitched woollen throws sourced from a Yass Valley producer, and a soaking tub positioned to face the view complete a room that feels less like accommodation and more like a private vantage point over the capital.

The Parliament Terrace Room Private Terrace
★★★★★

The Parliament Terrace Room

Step onto your private terrace and the green dome of Parliament House appears through a frame of native eucalyptus, close enough to feel the weight of civic history but far enough to belong entirely to yourself. Inside, deep burgundy upholstery, blackwood joinery, and the low hum of underfloor heating create a warmth that Canberra's sharp winter nights only intensify.

Welcome

stands as Canberra's singular hotel-casino destination, where 186 lavish guest rooms rise above a live gaming floor humming with anticipation and a dining precinct that rivals the finest tables on Marcus Clarke Street. The capital's rare blend of political gravitas, lakeside serenity, and cultural depth - from the National Gallery to the luminous shores of Lake Burley Griffin - seeps into every corner of this property, giving it a character no other city could produce. Come here and you will leave feeling the particular thrill that only Canberra grants: the sensation of having lived, dined, played, and rested at the very centre of a nation's story.

The Casino

's gaming floor spans 4,200 square metres across two levels and houses over 320 electronic gaming machines alongside 28 live table games - a scale that places it firmly among the most substantial gaming destinations between Sydney and Melbourne. The atmosphere is deliberately intimate rather than cavernous: low amber lighting borrowed from the hues of the Canberra autumn canopy, the soft percussion of shuffled cards, and staff who remember your name by the second visit all contribute to a floor that feels personal rather than transactional. The casino draws a knowing crowd - diplomats, visiting academics, Canberrans who treat the casino floor as a familiar evening ritual - lending every session a quiet undercurrent of intrigue that no other casino venue in the ACT can replicate.
