Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Emporium Hotel South Bank is widely praised for its glamourous design, offering spacious and comfortable rooms, some with must-have balconies that provide exceptional river views ideal for bird watching. Guests love the rooftop bar and pool area, with its amazing views of the Brisbane skyline, while inside, the elevators with shark-themed graphics are a particular highlight. The location is perfect, too, placing you within easy walking distance of the riverside, the natural pools, and QPAC; however, some guests have noted that the rooftop bar can get very crowded with non-guests. Dining at The Terrace is also a popular choice thanks to the amazing city views.

Mixed Feelings About This Place

decent rooftop poolstained carpetslow service
The rooftop pool was decent.
The room wasnt cleaned well, that really annoyed me. I saw stains on the carpet and the furnishings seemed dusty. Then one night, the bed was just half made with one sheet. Waited over an hour for someone to fix that. It did bother me a lot.

Really good Stay with High Standards

perfect servicepool facilitiesdelayed refresh
The staff offered perfect service, from the front desk to the waiters. I found the pool facilities available upon early arrival quite convenient. The location proved accessible for nearby attractions (though I primarily stayed on the premises).
I occasionally needed to request fresh towels. The room should have been refreshed more promptly (without me having to ask). This aspect did not align with my expectations given the hotel's high rating.

My daughter's wedding took place in the frangipani ballroom. It was and tastefully decorated, exactly as we wanted. the menu was delicious. Guests enjoyed drinks and canapés at the reserve wine bar, celebrating later on the rooftop bar with the fine city view. the newlyweds received a one-night stay, including free breakfast, in a room with a striking view. Guests also had discounted overnight stay access.
the need to constantly request clean towels and room service was quite unlike the usual five-star experience! this service detracted from what was otherwise a good visit.
