Forrest Suite

The Forrest Suite delivers impact at every scale. Whether you’re hosting a conference that commands attention or a wedding filled with unforgettable moments floor-to-ceiling windows flood the space with natural light and open onto an expansive terrace.

For conferences and corporate events, the terrace offers the perfect setting for arrival drinks, networking sessions or breakout moments in the fresh Canberra air. For weddings, it transforms effortlessly into a romantic outdoor ceremony space or the ultimate dance floor under the stars.

We understand that whether it’s delegates travelling to Canberra for a multi-day conference or family and friends gathering to celebrate your wedding, accommodation matters.

Rydges Canberra offers 186 spacious guest rooms and suites, featuring plush Rydges Dream Beds, HD LCD TVs and complimentary Wi-Fi — ensuring every guest or delegate is comfortable and well looked after.

We’re delighted to offer your attendees or guests 15% off our best flexible rate, making their stay seamless and convenient, with no transport logistics to worry about. For weddings, your dedicated wedding coordinator will also provide a personalised online booking page to share with your guests.
