Canberra’s East Hotel knows how to keep both big and little people happy.

The family friendly hotel is owned by siblings Dan and Dion Bisa who both have families and know what children and adults like when it comes to creating a home away from home.

They realise that happy kids mean happy parents and they have perfected this formula.

Located in the vibrant suburb of Kingston, the 140-room hotel offers studios, one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments. And there’s a Nespresso machine in every room.

The hotel also caters for business travellers as well as families and couples.

The two-bedroom family apartments are outstanding with the kid’s cubby room featuring bunk beds, bean bags, child-size furniture, toys and board games, large flat screen television and a Playstation.

The hotel has a well-equipped in-house gym and there are bikes for hire.

Canberra is a great city for cycling so put on your cycling gear and head out on the cycling track. Lake Burley Griffin is perfect for cycling around and has great views.

The hotel’s eclectic Joe’s Bar takes inspiration from the classic Venetian institution Harry’s Bar and the mixologist is well practiced.
