“Set near to the Parliamentary Triangle, Canberra's political heart. Expect understated contemporary style, with echoes of Japanese minimalism in rooms with four-poster beds & earthy tones. Very reasonably priced & promising access to the bars, eateries, spa & gym of the five-star Realm Precinct. ”
