Welcome to University House, the ceremonial heart of the Australian National University and one of Canberra’s unique locations. From its beginnings solely as a residential college for professors and research students it is now where the University celebrates and meets with the Canberran, Australian and international communities.
With a history rich in academic prestige and ceremony, guests are treated to a unique, club-like experience that was once the exclusive privilege of celebrated academics and dignitaries.
Since University House opened its doors to the public, graceful gardens, heritage-listed architecture and décor, charming accommodation, exceptional dining and a stylish venue are now available to the general public as well as University staff and graduate students.
