There are all sorts of places to stay depending on your budget. For a place affordable, Roamer Brisbane is a modern hostel that’s walking distance to Suncorp Stadium. If you are here with your family, there are plenty of options, the Oak Aurora Suites is a good one with its pool and gym! For something more luxurious, W Brisbane is right on the river and has a beautiful rooftop bar. Getting around is easy with the free City Loop bus and the free ferries that cross the river.
South Bank is one of Brisbane’s most vibrant spots, perfect for families, culture lovers, or business travellers looking for a mix of city life and relaxation. Just across the river from the CBD and about 25 minutes from the airport, it offers a lively atmosphere. There is a lot of things to do! You can go for a swim at Street Beach, watch a show at the Queensland Performing Arts Centre or exploring exhibitions at the Gallery of Modern Art. South Bank is also known for its stunning food scene and rooftop bars. So where to stay? For budget-friendly options, the Riverside Hotel Southbank is a good choice with a pool and restaurant. Mantra South Bank is ideal for families, close to playgrounds and museums, and for a luxury touch, the Emporium Hotel South Bank stands out with its infinity pool and rooftop terrace.
