Expert tips

  • Choose rooms facing the frangipani garden for a quieter view and some with a private terrace for outdoor space.

    Michael Roberts Accommodation Advisor
  • Budget for the occasional stairs as the hotel has no elevator and some uphill rooms stand a few buildings away.

    Sarah Chen Local Partnerships Manager
  • Plan to preorder breakfast to help avoid delays, as service can be slow and some items are not included in the rate.

    Julia Wells Freelance Travel Writer
  • Use the EV charger onsite but know there are only 6 or 7 parking bays and the lot is tight to navigate.

Quick local hint

Brisbane

“Walk a short distance to James Street for shopping, then head to the nearby River Walk for a riverside stroll. Time it to visit South Bank or New Farm markets, both within walking distance and offering local flavor and events.”
