Pavilion offers a range of hotel rooms, suites and apartments to suit different family sizes and travel plans.
For a short stay, an Atrium Queen or Atrium King Room provides a comfortable base close to the hotel's tropical indoor gardens. Families looking for more space can settle into a One Bedroom Apartment, complete with a fully equipped kitchen and separate lounge and dining area.
The Two Bedroom Apartment sleeps up to four guests and includes two bedrooms, a kitchen, and flexible bedding options, making it a practical choice for families and small groups.
Having your own kitchen means you can prepare a quick breakfast, keep snacks on hand or enjoy a relaxed meal in your apartment. A separate living area also gives everyone more room to unwind after a busy day exploring Canberra.

Breakfast is served at Atrium Restaurant & Bar, surrounded by the greenery and natural light of Pavilion’s signature tropical atrium.
The hot buffet includes a selection of breakfast favourites, with children’s pricing available. In-house guests can also pre-book breakfast at reception the night before to receive a lower rate.
Atrium Restaurant & Bar is open seven days a week for breakfast, lunch and dinner, providing an easy option when the family would prefer to dine at the hotel. Pavilion also offers 24-hour room service, so you can enjoy a meal in the comfort of your room or apartment.

With complimentary parking at the hotel and a Light Rail stop directly across the road, families can choose the most convenient way to explore. The Light Rail provides easy access to Canberra’s city centre, while many of the capital’s best-known attractions are around a 10-minute drive from the hotel.
Questacon is a favourite with families, offering interactive science and technology exhibitions designed to encourage hands-on discovery. Allow at least two hours for your visit, although curious young scientists may want to stay longer. Tickets can sell out, particularly on weekends and during school holidays, so booking ahead is recommended.
