The 6 Best Hotels in Brisbane (Updated 2025)

"Sitting at the base of the Story Bridge on the edge of Fortitude Valley, this epic five-star property feels almost like an urban resort and is my favorite luxury hotel in the city. It has two restaurants, a fitness center, an infinity pool with magnificent views, and a rooftop bar with panoramic skyline views. The spacious rooms have floor-to-ceiling windows, comfy beds, plush bathrobes, flatscreen TVs, desks, and most include a couch; the bathrooms are massive with walk-in rainfall showers and great pressure. It's an ideal choice for travelers who want to stay along the waterfront with the restaurants and bars of Howard Smith Wharves just steps away." - Matthew Kepnes
