Once the residence of Australia's 16th Prime Minister, Ben Chifley – and now boasting a Whisky Bar in his honour – it offers up an unrivalled space for parties; big (MICE style) and intimately small.
The Hotel Kurrajong Canberra offers 147 rooms and suites, Chifley's Bar & Grill, a multi-award-winning wedding venue (national and state awards since 2020) and 6 unique conference and event spaces for up to 200 pax.
