Staying at Emporium Hotel South Bank was an absolute highlight of my Brisbane trip. The location is unbeatable—right next to South Bank Parklands, with easy walking access to the riverfront, restaurants, and all the city’s top attractions. The room itself is sleek and modern, with incredibly comfortable bedding that made falling asleep a dream. The view from the window? Absolutely stunning—every morning felt like a postcard. This room type is in high demand, so booking ahead is definitely recommended. What truly made the experience special was the rooftop pool. During the day, it’s open to all guests, but after 10 PM, it’s exclusively for hotel guests—meaning you get the whole level to yourself. That private, serene vibe at night was pure magic. And to kick things off, they even welcomed us with a complimentary bottle of champagne—such a thoughtful touch that really elevated the mood.

Having laundry facilities right in the room made life so much easier. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout, from front desk to breakfast service and housekeeping. While some of the furnishings showed signs of age, it didn’t detract from the overall experience.

That said, rooms on higher floors seem to have better views and more sunlight. All in all, this was a highly satisfying stay.
