The Realm is a good hotel over on the Parliament side of Canberra, close to the Foreign Affairs offices. They have larger rooms and suites that make it great for longer stays. There are also good restaurants, bars and cafes nearby. Not a lot of them but good quality in the small neighbourhood.

Carefully considerate
My anticipation was exciting.. as I need to have full disability suite.. all was in place, except bed was far too high.. it took 2 hours to sort out with maintenance.. eventually taking legs off bed.. now all good ... a lovely suite with separate spacious bedroom.. cleanliness exceptional .. i was very impressed.. staff were so helpful in sorting everything.. I wanted to see the exhibition at the National gallery nearby.. reception organised ticket plus motorised scooter.. so on arrival to gallery everything worked beautifully.. the hanging mobiles in atrium are an interesting feature with light shining on them in the evening creating a great effect.. The parking ticket was validated by hotel on exit taking care of fee.. I thought this a good feature.. All over I was impressed with the service and their looking after me when I need a bit extra.. I would like to return..
