Brisbane Hotels
Brisbane is a sophisticated urban city, jam-packed with cultural experiences,
shopping precincts and world-class sporting events.
Discover Brisbane
Just as the Brisbane River casually meanders through the centre of its
namesake city, so too does the Queensland capital offer an oddly laid
back vibe for a modern metropolis of its size. Walking through town,
you wouldn’t guess that this is Australia’s third largest city, home
to no less than 2.5 million.This tranquil, friendly, almost laissez-faire atmosphere is a product of the city’s whereabouts as much as anything. Slotted between the Gold and Sunshine Coasts, Brisbane sees a parade of tourists and beach bums using it as a stop-over between the two popular destinations, although its charms often see visitors staying far longer than they had planned.Ready to book your Brisbane adventure, but wondering where to stay? Qantas Hotels allows you to choose from over 200,000 hotel and accommodation options worldwide, with over 200 in Brisbane alone. You’ll also earn 3 Qantas Points per A$1 spent* with Qantas Hotels.So whether it’s your first time to the city or your fiftieth, let’s take a look at what you need to know about Brisbane and its hotels to make the most of your stay.
Places to see
What is the best area to stay in Brisbane?
- The CBD: The city centre is a place of history, beauty and excellent shopping. Queen Street and its famous mall form the major retail artery, while the Botanic Gardens, Cathedral of St Stephen and City Hall Clock Tower add some photo-worthy interest.
- South Bank: Calmer, fresher and more open than the CBD, South Bank is loaded with drinking and dining options, and is awash with play areas for the kids. Art and greenery litter the area, which hosts many of Brisbane’s biggest events.
- Kangaroo Point: A thin finger of land surrounded by the Brisbane River, the inner-city suburb of Kangaroo Point forms the runway to the famous Story Bridge. This is one of the inner-city’s most picturesque and peaceful places.
- Fortitude Valley: Jump over the Story Bridge and you’ll see the other, more boisterous side of Brisbane. Fortitude Valley is where the city lets its hair down, and offers fun for every taste.
- New Farm: A more local experience awaits at New Farm, where big chain hotels are traded in for boutique accommodation and rental apartments. If you want to experience Brisbane as the locals do, look no further.
What are Brisbane’s must-see attractions?
- Story Bridge: The iconic bridge that joins Kangaroo Point with Fortitude Valley offers some of Brisbane’s best views, particularly for those who brave the Adventure Climb.
- Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary: Want to get up close and personal with one of Australia’s most famous animals? The world’s largest koala sanctuary, Lone Pine turns the cuteness up to 11.
- City Botanic Gardens: Dating back to 1828, the Queensland Heritage Register describes these gardens as "the most significant non-Aboriginal cultural landscape in Queensland.” A truly stunning spot, right in the centre of town.
- The Wheel of Brisbane: Taking pride of place on the riverside of South Bank, the Wheel of Brisbane offers visitors the very best view of the CBD and surrounds.
- Queensland Museum and Science Centre: With a heavy focus on Queensland, visitors to the state museum are taken on a fascinating trip through the area’s natural history.
