Marriott International to open first Canberra hotel

The Midnight Hotel is set to open in Canberra in September following a Marriot International signing with Iconic Hotels.

Midnight Hotel will be a part of Geocon’s $200 million residential and commercial development in Braddon, central Canberra, open in September as an Autograph Collection hotel.

It will be the second hotel for the brand to open in Australia, following the recently renovated Pier One Sydney Harbour, Autograph Collection.

“This deal marks a significant milestone for us since it will be our first in the capital of Australia,” said Richard Crawford, Senior Director, Hotel Development, Australia, New Zealand and Pacific, Marriott International. “We look forward to working closely with Iconic Hotels to bring this hotel to this market.”

Each guest room will feature a bespoke commissioned piece of artwork by international artist and architectural designer, Thomas Bucich.

The hotel will also include facilities such as a restaurant, bar, indoor swimming pool, wellness centre, conference and event spaces and a guest lounge.
