Rooms and Suites

Hotel Realm Canberra offers 163 rooms and suites, including the spacious One-Bedroom Suite - Realm with a separate sitting area and kitchenette equipped with microwave and washer-dryer. The Family Interconnecting Room connects two suites, giving families a combined living space and two bathrooms. All rooms at the Realm Hotel include a balcony, a bathtub in the bathroom, and a Nespresso coffee machine with T2 tea sachets.

Dining and Bars

The hotel houses two on-site restaurants: Louis Dining, which serves Italian, Mediterranean, and European cuisines for breakfast and dinner, and Ostani Bar, a casual spot with signature cocktails and a bar menu open until late. Room service is available through the in-room iPad system, offering a limited menu that includes breakfast delivered to the suite. The lobby bar, Leyla Bar, offers views over the city and a selection of cocktails, but reservations are recommended for dinner at all venues.

Wellness and Fitness

The Hale Gym gives guests complimentary access to a hydrotherapy spa, sauna, steam room, and a 25-metre indoor lap pool with a hot tub. The fitness centre is equipped with Technogym machines and offers yoga classes twice a week, plus personal training sessions by appointment. Spa treatments are available on-site and include body scrubs, facials, and couples massage, with a spa lounge for pre- and post-treatment relaxation.
