Last minute New Years Eve stay, room was great as we had views of the fireworks. We like the bar and restaurant near the foyer. Breakfast has lots of options and yummy omelettes, caters well for my gluten intolerance. Good convenient location, would book again. Walkable to restaurants and across the new bridge to the casino side of Brisbane.

Hotel is in a great spot for South bank and main area of Brisbane. The transport over the river was regular and extremely cheap, tap on tap off! Staff, room and pool area all lovely. Lots of eateries yards away on Stanley street. We enjoyed our stay and would stay there again!
