About

Overview & Vibe

Hotel Realm sits on National Circuit in Barton, inside the Realm Precinct and a few minutes’ walk from Parliament House — a five-star hotel that anchors a cluster of restaurants, bars, salons, spas and gyms.

Setting & Style

The National Ballroom is the flagship, taking anything from seventy to four hundred and sixty guests across cocktail receptions and seated dinners, and it is the largest hotel wedding space in Canberra. Smaller and more intimate is a room with soaring ceilings and curved timber walls suited to ceremonies up to a hundred and receptions of sixty seated. For couples who want a garden wedding, the precinct’s Brassey Gardens offers two and a half acres of manicured gardens for ceremonies up to a hundred, followed by cocktails and traditional garden games in 1920s surroundings. A dedicated Wedding Executive works with couples throughout, guests get a fifteen per cent accommodation discount, and the couple’s wedding night is spent in one of the suites.
