2. The Emporium Hotel South Bank (5 Stars)

Location: 267 Grey Street, South Bank

Modern-day opulence and luxury.  The Emporium Hotel is pretty new (it opened in 2018) and it is swanky AF!  The rooms are next level – my room had one of those see-through bathrooms (you can turn the glass on and off – nothing kinky unless you want to leave the mirror on).

On level 21 you will find a spectacular, 23m infinity-edge pool and bar with magnificent views over South Bank Parklands, the Brisbane River, to the city and beyond. The coveted north easterly aspect will allow comfort and enjoyment morning to night, all year round.

The eclectic, sophisticated and curious Ovolo Inchcolm in Wickham Terrace Brisbane CBD takes on a rock n roll design & is definitely one of the best hotels in Brisbane.

Once a private residence and medical practice, the building was first constructed in the 1930’s, with this being the foundation to drive the artistic concept behind Ovolo Inchcolm.

Now I have been a big fan of all QT Hotels for years – they are all just gorgeous – consistently gorgeous – and this one is no exception!

Set along a coastline with a reputation to shine, your Gold Coast hotel room serves up tranquillity with bursts of joy. It’s popping with the right kinds of colours.
