About The Upperhouse @ Royal Hotel Queanbeyan
The Upperhouse is the private events level above the Royal Hotel on Monaro Street in central Queanbeyan. A lift runs up from the ground floor to three function rooms, a light-filled atrium and an open-air rooftop terrace. The Manhattan Room is the main room, with its own bar and space for 200 at a cocktail party, 120 at long tables or 100 at banquet rounds. The Menzies Room opens straight onto the rooftop terrace and holds 60 standing, and the Beadman Room suits dinners for up to 24 or drinks for 40. The atrium and terrace are shared between the rooms, but hiring all three together gives a group the whole floor for up to 300 guests. Couples can hold the ceremony in the Manhattan Room or on the terrace and then move straight into the reception. Menus come from the hotel's executive chef and cover canapés, shared grazing, plated dinners, themed buffets and a Churrasco BBQ cooked over charcoal. Five canapés start at $37 per person, plated two-course meals at $65 and grazing feasts at $75. Drinks run on two- or three-hour packages from $40 per person, or on a bar tab with an agreed limit. Guests can book their own DJ or band, and the Manhattan Room has a large screen, microphones and a lectern for speeches.
