From the friendly check in to the beautifully appointed executive suite with stunning views over Canberra this was a special stay. We had cocktail at Leyla, dinner at Chairman and Yip and breakfast at Louis and all three were superb. Bed was super comfortable and room was dark and quiet. Can’t wait to stay again.
