The hotel will be located on Bunda Street, strategically positioned between Garema Place and Bunda Street, opposite the Canberra Centre. The 10-storey mixed-use commercial and hotel development, covering 1500m², features 238 hotel rooms, multiple restaurants and bars, a central skylight atrium and gardens, swimming pool, wellness centre, function rooms, and ballroom.
The first hospitality group in Australia to achieve 100 per cent waste-free bathrooms, Crystalbrook’s Canberra hotel will continue the brand’s commitment to responsible luxury, with initiatives including 100 per cent recycled coat hangers and key cards, zero-waste coffee capsules from TerraCycle, and the labelling of ‘Climate Calories’ across all of their restaurants, allowing customers to feel comfortable that they are mitigating their environmental impact.
As part of the city’s revitalisation efforts, the Australian Capital Territory Government’s City Renewal Authority will upgrade the Garema Place Public Realm. This enhancement will create a modern and lively dining and retail precinct, offering increased green space, improved pedestrian flow, better accessibility, enhanced lighting, and more outdoor dining opportunities.
Crystalbrook Collection founder Ghassan Aboud commented: “With the announcement of our new Canberra property and the continued expansion of the group across Australia with recent expansion into Adelaide and the acquisition of a second property in Sydney, my vision for Crystalbrook Collection as a truly national hotel group is coming to fruition. This growth of our brand across Australia is delivering a strong base for a future expansion of Crystalbrook Collection into overseas markets.”
