"In Brisbane, much like London, the South Bank is home to some of the city’s finest cultural institutions and entertainment options. The Emporium Hotel South Bank, as a result, liberally mixes pleasure with business — the design is bold, the atmosphere is hopping, and the public spaces are lively as can be. There’s a rooftop terrace restaurant, a French bistro, and a classic piano bar, as well as the modern-Australian Signature. Meanwhile the suites are luxe and stylish in roughly equal measure, styled as “urban sanctuaries.” They’re glamorous spaces, many with far-ranging views over the river — though perhaps the best view is to be had from the rooftop infinity pool." - Tablet Hotels
