About Burke & Wills Hotel
The Burke & Wills Hotel stands on Ruthven Street in the middle of Toowoomba's shopping district, with guest rooms and suites above its event floors. Its functions side is built around four private rooms, each air-conditioned and fitted with its own bar. Upstairs on the first floor, the Allan Cunningham Room has tall ceilings and warm lighting. It seats 150 for a banquet, 120 in cabaret style or 160 theatre style, so it handles larger receptions and formal dinners. Downstairs, the Karl Langer Room is dressed in dark timber with adjustable lighting and music. It works as two rooms, East and West, or as one space for 130 seated or 160 standing, and it has a projector and screen. The Conservatory and its adjoining Glasshouse bring in plenty of daylight and can be booked together or separately. Set up for cocktails, they hold 150, or 60 at banquet tables, and the room has a TV beside its bar. Lennon's sits towards the back of the ground floor and opens onto a small courtyard. It takes 60 standing or 50 seated, with a large TV for slideshows, a music system, wi-fi and digital signage, which suits workshops and smaller celebrations. The hotel publishes separate event and wedding packages, and its team sets each room to your chosen layout. Guests who want to stay the night can book a room in the same building.

Right in the heart of town! Beautiful room! But the service was beyond exceptional! When we asked for something it would take them a max of 3 mins to bring to our door! The staff were beyond friendly and helpful
