Originally a floor of hotel rooms, The Upperhouse was thoughtfully reimagined before opening in 2018, carefully retaining original features including leadlight windows and fireplaces and exposing the original brickwork. Today, three private function rooms have been created, spilling out to a light-filled Atrium and open-air Rooftop Terrace, bringing something unexpected to the centre of Queanbeyan.
Weddings, celebrations and conferences share the calendar with ticketed music shows and dining events. Just 15–20 minutes from Canberra, you can book The Upperhouse for your own occasion or join us for one of ours.
