Burbury Hotel Canberra

The place

Burbury Hotel sits near Capitol Hill in Canberra. Its 152 rooms and apartments — from classic rooms to premium two-bedrooms — are drawn in black and white, with sleek modern furnishings throughout.

Each comes with a deluxe king-size bed, a writing desk, premium toiletries and complimentary internet. The larger apartments add a kitchenette or a fully equipped kitchen. There are no wellness facilities in the building itself, but the fully equipped Hale Gym and Hale Spa are close at hand.

Where the Burbury lingers is at the bar. Leyla, on the rooftop, pours vibrant drinks with small bites; Lilo, Japanese-inspired, keeps to sophisticated drinks and snacks.
