Experience elevated luxury overlooking Brisbane River and watch the vibrant city lights from the rooftop infinity pool with a five-star stay at Emporium Hotel South Bank. Undeniably luxurious, with accolades including Australia’s Leading Boutique Hotel at the 2020 World Travel Awards and a Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice 2020 badge, this urban retreat delivers ‘wow’ factor from the moment you arrive. From the huge ‘E’ on the front of the building and the Instagram-worthy Terrace Rooftop Bar to a glistening 23m infinity pool adorned by lush palm trees and panoramic skyline views, this hotel is set to impress. High-end facilities include the award-winning Signature restaurant — a sophisticated space serving local, seasonal produce and an impeccably curated, 6,000-strong wine collection. Step off the streets of South Bank right onto a Parisian promenade at Belle Époque, a pastry café inspired by French finesse, then while away the evening in 1920s glamour with a stiff drink and smooth jazz at Piano Bar.
