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. The staff were professional, friendly, and attentive throughout our stay—from check-in to checkout. They made us feel genuinely cared for, like we were part of the family. This place offers incredible value and unforgettable experiences. I’ll be back without a doubt.

Staying at The Star Grand Brisbane was a fantastic experience overall! The room was spacious and well-designed, offering plenty of comfort and a relaxing atmosphere. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive—always ready to help with anything we needed. It's definitely a great value for the location and amenities. One minor issue stood out: the shower pressure was surprisingly weak, making it take forever to rinse shampoo out of my hair. What made it even more puzzling is that the bathtub and sink had strong water flow, so it’s strange that only the shower had low pressure. It really affected the showering experience. Hopefully, the hotel can look into fixing this soon—it would make an already excellent stay even better.
