East Hotel

Conveniently located in the heart of Canberra, East Hotel is a unique establishment that offers a truly memorable experience. This family-owned boutique hotel, with its Italian roots, goes beyond the typical "design hotel" concept by providing guests with moody and sumptuous interiors, combined with warm and authentic service.

Since opening its doors in 2012, East Hotel has become a popular destination for both visitors to Canberra and local residents. The moment you step into our lobby, you'll be instantly captivated, intrigued, and pleasantly surprised. Whether you're staying with us, enjoying a refreshing Negroni at Joe's Bar, or indulging in our house-made gnocchi and pizza at Agostinis, you'll feel like a cherished guest in an Italian family's home.

It's no wonder we're ranked as the number one hotel in Canberra on TripAdvisor. Our guests consistently praise our welcoming atmosphere, spacious and comfortable rooms, and exceptional service. With a bar, a breakfast restaurant (MUSE), and a dining option for dinner, East Hotel offers a range of amenities to enhance your stay. Plus, our free parking and prime location make us an ideal choice for exploring all that Canberra has to offer.

But don't just take our word for it. Here's what some of our satisfied guests have to say:

"I would not stay anywhere else in Canberra by choice. This hotel has a warm friendly welcoming feel about it backed up by large comfortable rooms and great service. A three-night stay this time and not a thing to complain about and plenty to be happy about. Such a treat to have a bar in the hotel and a breakfast restaurant (MUSE) and a dining option at night. Throw in free parking and the location, and you cannot go wrong."

"Loved our one-bedroom apartment. It was spacious and had an expansive view. It even included a little balcony. Liked how the shower and toilet were separate. Also liked the use of refillable toiletries and Who Gives A Crap toilet paper/tissues. Great idea having a wastepaper basket for recycling. Thank you for the wine, chocolates, and pizzas! We'll be back!"

"What an amazing place to stay with a family. We stayed in a two-bedroom suite, and it was perfect. The kids had their own room and bathroom, there was a common living area with a kitchen - and even a washing machine and dryer!! The bed and pillows were so comfortable. The service was fantastic, and the kids loved the lolly jars at reception and the Easter egg hunt on Easter Sunday. This is one of the best places I've stayed at with children for a very long time. Really enjoyed our time in Canberra and wouldn't stay anywhere else when visiting again."

"We stayed for our family visit to Canberra with our children aged 8 & 10. The room set up, onsite dining, and gym were all great. We used the local pool, which was also included in our stay. We walked to the Kingston foreshore multiple times, which was convenient. I highly recommend this hotel for an easy family stay."

With the ambience of an Italian Piazza, our lobby serves as your gateway to exploring some of Canberra's best food and drink destinations.

At East Hotel, we also acknowledge and respect the Ngunnawal and Ngambri peoples, the Traditional Owners and Custodians of the land where we live, learn, and work. We recognize their enduring connection to the lands, waters, and communities, and pay our respects to their Elders, both past and present.
