I usually stay at The Novotel at the airport but it was full. Chose this hotel based on trip advior rankings. Good location if you do not need to be in the city, but seemed expensive parking at $35 per night. Executive room was great, plenty of space, microwave and even a washing machine More

We went up to Brisbane for a weekend away and stayed at the Emporium on recommendation. They exceeded every expectation I had. The decor of the lobby, bar, rooms, hallways was fantastic. The staff were very professional and good at their job. I honestly did not expect this level of service from a hotel in Brisbane. The porters were outstanding.... More

Walking into the reception lobby of the Emporium after sundown with its garish red lighting made me feel at first like I'd stepped into a Kings Cross nightclub on 70s discotheque night. But thankfully there was nothing to fear. Staying in the King Suite, the room was clean, very modern with all the contemporary fittings you'd expect of a high-end... More

We use this hotel for business on a weekly basis. I recently got to stay there myself. It's a great boutique hotel in a buzzing precinct in Fortitude Valley. Rooms are very generous in size, with a good size balcony as well. The king size bed is very comfortable. Staff are extremely helpful. There is also a cosmopolitian bar on... More

close to everything, very comfy bed, pleasant staff. However, the wifi situation in Aus is beyond ridiculous. It is just criminal for hotels in 2012 to charge the the prices they do for wifi. Unfortunately we didn't notice this before we made the booking so although we enjoyed our two nights we won't be back unless their rip-off policy re:... More

Very well designed hotel. The rooms are generous in space and the bed was very luxurious. Great to wash some clothes and great sized fridge. Just a short stay but very pleasant and centrally located to the business corporate area of Brisbane. More

We stayed here for my hubby's Birthday treat. The staff were fabulous, they upgraded us and the room was just bliss. Clean and beautifully fitted out. The bed was heaven. It was quiet and perfect. Yet right in the middle of the hub of cafe's and shops. Loved it. Particularly loved the bathroom....it felt like we were royalty! More

After reading trip adviser I decided to give the Emporium a go. I had high expectations and I was not disappointed. Great staff, excellent cocktail bar, quiet room, good size - I stayed in an exec suite, and the most comfortable bed I have slept in. When being away from home this is always a challenge and I was so... More

We stayed at the Emporium for 2 nights to attend a wedding there last weekend. We have stayed in many hotels in Brisbane over the years and this was definitely the best. The staff were excellent - reception, concierge/door and wedding staff. The rooms were large and well set out. However, after looking everywhere for the advertised in-suite laundry (we... More
