CANBERRA’S BEST EVENT VENUE HIRE

Planning a business event? Whether it’s a corporate lunch, team strategy session, or a networking night with clients, the right venue makes all the difference. You need a space that’s professional, stylish, and practical.

When it comes to function venues in Canberra, The Statesman Hotel takes the hassle out of hosting and makes it a little more enjoyable. Here are five reasons our fully revamped venue is one of Canberra’s best choices for corporate events and functions.

1. A Location That Works for Everyone

Tucked in Curtin, just minutes from Parliament House and major business precincts, The Statesman is perfectly positioned for corporate events. There’s no battling the city or struggling to find a park—just easy access for locals, out-of-towners, and everyone in between.

With plenty of on-site parking and nearby public transport, your guests can arrive relaxed and ready to go.

2. A Space for Every Kind of Event

Not all events are created equal, and that’s why we offer a range of flexible function rooms. From small, private meetings to larger-scale networking nights, we’ve got you covered.

Boardroom: A polished, private space for smaller meetings or presentations

Conference Room: Ideal for seminars, corporate workshops and group sessions

Nancy B Cocktail Bar: Stylish, adults-only venue for launch parties or after-work gatherings

Policy Dining: A more elevated space for formal business lunches and dinners

We’ll help you choose the space that best suits your event and ensure it looks and runs exactly as you imagined.

3. On-Site Accommodation for Out-of-Towners

Hosting interstate guests or planning a multi-day event? The Statesman makes it easy to keep everything under one roof. Our modern accommodation is just upstairs—no taxi needed.

With a range of comfortable rooms and the same high standard of service throughout the venue, it’s the convenient choice for clients, teams, and organisers alike.

4. Food & Drink That Means Business

No stale sandwich platters here. Our in-house Policy Dining team serves a seasonal menu packed with fresh, flavourful options.

From casual working lunches to set menu dinners or post-event drinks at the bar, we’ll tailor the food and drink to suit the style of your event. You’ll also find Canberra’s best coffee just downstairs at Ballot Box, for that essential pre-meeting caffeine hit.
