Was able to check in early, really nice albeit small room with a view of the river on 24th floor. Comfy bed too. Very happy thanks!

ibis Brisbane Airport Hotel
For a layover or early domestic flight perfect location. International flight is a 5 minute walk to domestic then catch the free shuttle from there, or pay for a shuttle to international from the hotel door.

The Star Grand Brisbane
Well positioned. Beautiful room overlooking the river. Expensive onsite restaurants. The only issue was the lifts. The swipe card worked intermittently and that affects the efficient use of the lifts.

Brisbane Skytower Apartments by CLLIX
Nice location in a very walkable city. 2 BR with one bath is a bit tight for a family of 4 with only 1 bathroom by Australian apartment standards. Furnishing felt abit well-used. Good view of Kangaroo Point from our 60th floor.
