The Commonwealth Club
Since 1954, The Commonwealth Club has served as Canberra’s most prestigious meeting place.
Nestled within two acres of manicured gardens and sweeping lawns, Members enjoy unparallelled views of Canberra and Lake Burley Griffin, and are within walking distance of some of the capital’s main cultural institutions and attractions.
Within our walls, find more than exceptional dining, more than boutique accommodation and fine Australian art. Join a community of accomplished Australians who value both tradition and progress.
Dining
The Garden Room boasts a large outdoor balcony for smart casual all-day dining, and a menu with modern Australian dishes focused on fresh local produce. Enjoy quality ingredients and refined flavours, complemented by an extensive wine list.
Prestige
The Commonwealth Club is one of Canberra’s oldest private social clubs, and we take pride in our rich history and contemporary values, which create a welcoming space for our Members. A reputation for discretion, excellence, and tradition places the Club among the most distinguished private institutions in the nation's capital.
Refurbished Guestrooms Available from March 2026
Hospitality at its heart, the Club offers thoughtfully appointed rooms with en-suite bathrooms, Wi-Fi, room service, and pantry access, alongside complimentary fitness facilities. A short stroll to capital attractions and close to the CBD, many rooms offer expansive views over Lake Burley Griffin, providing a restful retreat in the heart of Canberra.
Culture
The Commonwealth Club upholds a distinguished culture of respect and refined inclusivity. Members and their guests are required to be presentably dressed in a manner consistent with the character and standing of the Club.
