Statesman Hotel
Yesteryear
The Statesman has been a Canberra icon since the 1960’s.
Before the Club scene came to Canberra, The Statesman sold “a lot of beer” back in its day and became a popular meeting place for patrons from Parliament House and other Public Service Offices in the growing suburbs of Canberrra City. It was frequented by journalists, politicians and public servants in a booming political era. If the Statesman walls could talk there would be many a political scandal.
The Statesman still retains memories of its unique political charm with original artwork and room names.
Renovations to the Statesman where officially opened by Prime Minister Bob Hawke in 1986.
Motel Manager Michelle Hood is keen to preserve the Statesman heritage with its political and social past by collecting stories of past guests and patrons in a visitors book available from the reception desk. Alternatively you can email your thoughts to [email protected]

Nowdays
The Statesman Hotel is a traditionally styled hotel-motel located in the geographical centre of Canberra.
Being a smaller establishment of 64 newly renovated motel rooms in one of Canberra’s leafy central suburbs we can offer personal friendly service in comfortable and relaxing atmosphere.
The Statesman hosts two bars. Firstly the Terrace Bar and H2O Bistro featuring fine wines and fine food and of course our public bar / sports bar where our tradies and punters meet to enjoy the full TAB facilities, watch the games, and enjoy meat raffles every thursday evening.
