CHECKING IN
We take the guesswork out of local travel with our tips on where to stay, eat, drink and play. This month, GT heads to the capital.
A by Adina, Canberra.
The capital’s newest luxury accommodation leads the way when it comes to style and sustainability, thanks to award-winning architects Bates Smart, who designed the sleek and sculptural hotel overlooking Commonwealth Park and Lake Burley Griffin. Located just next to City Hill, A by Adina offers more than just a bed for the night, with each room equipped with a well-stocked kitchenette and Nespresso machine. Those in town for more than a night or two should consider upgrading to an apartment, which features a full kitchen and laundry. Or you can live the high life and reserve a Destination A package, which includes a room on the top floor and a personal curator to customise your stay. For those feeling social, guests are invited to join The Daily Pause – a complimentary cocktail hour held in the lobby each night. Or you can enjoy an easy stroll to some of Canberra’s best bars and restaurants. abyadina.com
