Brisbane has a great range of international, midrange and economy hotels, in locations throughout the City and suburbs. Major chain operators such as Radisson, Novotel, Ibis, Sheraton, Hilton, Parkroyal, Marriott and others have a presence, whilst local chains Rydges, Metro Hospitality Group and Quest are also represented. One of the newest hotels in town is the luxury 5 star Marriott Hotel, however there are numerous others that have been developed in the past 5 years, during which it is estimated that the number of hotel rooms in Brisbane has almost doubled. Whilst most of the international hotels are domiciled in the City, there is the Rydges Hotel at Southbank adjacent to the Brisbane Convention Centre and Exhibition Halls. Another popular 5 star choice is the Conrad Treasury Hotel and Casino, situated in the old Queensland State Treasury building in the Central Business District.

Famous for its great weather and exciting events and cultural scene, Brisbane has a sophisticated, warm and friendly charm that will more than surprise. As Queensland's vibrant Capital City, Brisbane offers the very best in food, wine, arts entertainment and major sporting events with relaxed sub-tropical flair.

Pack casual, lightweight clothing and some special outfits for dining at restaurants or nights at the theatre or casino. As the capital of the Sunshine State, Brisbane has long hours of sunshine so be sure to bring a swimsuit, hat and sunscreen. Warmer clothing may be required for winter mornings and evenings. Comfortable shoes and jeans are a must for bushwalking or horse riding.
