Four Points by Sheraton Brisbane

The Four Points by Sheraton Brisbane is perfectly located—just a 5- to 6-minute walk from the bridge connecting to South Bank Parklands, making it super convenient for exploring the city and hopping on the train. The room location was a bit underwhelming though; the window faced a neighboring building’s side wall with zero views. Still, the breakfast was fantastic—wide variety, and they even made special meals for my kids, including scrambled eggs and egg rolls. It’s not just about the location or the food, but the overall experience that makes me want to recommend this hotel to friends.

Novotel Brisbane South Bank

Staying at Novotel Brisbane South Bank was an absolute delight from start to finish. The room came with a coffee machine and fridge—perfect for a quick morning brew or keeping drinks cool. Outside, the pool area is spotless and inviting, ideal for relaxing under the Queensland sun. Cleanliness stood out too—the bathroom was immaculate, and while they don’t provide disposable toothbrushes, toothpaste, combs, or slippers like some hotels, they do offer single-use hygiene bags, which I actually appreciated as a thoughtful touch. The view from the floor-to-ceiling windows was stunning—especially during sunset when the city lights began to sparkle across the river. What really made the experience special was the front desk staff: one of the team spoke fluent Chinese and helped me resolve an issue with my magnetic stripe credit card that wouldn’t scan—super helpful and friendly. Breakfast was delicious, with a great variety of fresh options. Overall, this hotel delivers on comfort, service, and location. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Brisbane.

Emporium Hotel South Bank

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.
