About

The Design Icon Apartments are an ideal option when it comes to short-term accommodation. They give you the freedom to live like a local – you get more privacy, more room, and you can cook for yourself (if you want). The apartments are perfectly woven around NewActon’s three flagship buildings – East, South and Nishi. There are a number of different types but they all share the common Hotel Hotel thread with interiors overseen by Hotel Hotel’s aesthetic curator Don Cameron and Ken Neale (our favourite furniture and object collector). NewActon is a lakeside urban village and Canberra’s arts and culture precinct. Here you’ll find some of Canberra’s best cafes, bars and restaurants, bakery, Palace Electric Cinema, meandering gardens, the Nishi Gallery, an outdoor cinema in the summer time, as well as a hair salon and beauty spot, a gym and pilates place. NewActon is a few minutes walk to the CBD, the theatre district, and the lake.
