Welcome to University House
University House was established at the foundation of the Australian National University, as its collegial, ceremonial heart.
Since 1954, University House has welcomed ANU staff, students and visitors, and members of the Canberra and wider communities – to meet, greet, celebrate and stay in a unique on-campus location adjacent to Canberra city and the capital’s cultural and political institutions.
University House is nationally heritage-listed for its iconic, award-winning, Mid-Century Modern design, furnishings, artwork and gardens. Following an extended closure due to the 2020 Canberra hailstorm, University House has been fully renovated and restored to reflect its history and status.
University House offers boutique hotel accommodation; a range of conference and meeting rooms; dining, cafe, bar and social spaces; and graduate student rooms. Stay or visit the centre of ideas, culture and celebration infused with the intellectual life of Australia’s National University.
