Canberra Rex Hotel Review
Within a 5-minute drive of Australian War Memorial, the 4-star Canberra Rex Hotel offers an à la carte restaurant on site. This Canberra hotel is placed 10 minutes' drive from Parliament House, and provides guests with sauna facilities and an indoor pool.
The on-site Swan King restaurant with Australian cuisine is a part of the hotel. The lounge bar will set you up nicely for enjoying your stay. There is a pizzeria serving Turkish food around 6 minutes' walk away.
The property is placed about 15 km from Canberra airport and a 10-minute ride from such cultural venues as the art museum "National Gallery of Australia". The Rex Canberra is also 3.3 km from such natural sights as the man-made Lake Burley Griffin.
The area is notable for educational places like Australian National University, situated within 25 minutes' walk of the accommodation.
