Capri By Fraser, Brisbane

Capri by Fraser, Brisbane is a serviced-apartment-style hotel in South Bank, Brisbane, with its listed address at 80 Albert Street in the CBD. The property combines accommodation with practical facilities for travellers who want more flexibility than a traditional hotel room. Its 239 suites include Studio Deluxe, Studio Executive, Studio Premier and One Bedroom Executive options, with the website noting that the layouts suit singles, couples and families.

The rooms are designed for both short visits and longer stays. Studios have a kitchenette, while the One Bedroom Executive Apartments include a fully equipped kitchen. Every suite includes a workspace, ergonomic Herman Miller chair, large television with Chromecast, bedside USB charging and unlimited Wi-Fi. That mix of work-friendly features and self-catering space makes the hotel a practical option for business travellers, extended stays and guests who prefer to settle in rather than rely entirely on restaurants.

The hotel’s look is a major part of the experience. The design was developed by Ministry of Design and draws on Queensland’s natural environment through rainforest-inspired details, vertical gardens, art installations and geometric interiors. Away from the rooms, guests can use the indoor heated swimming pool, 24-hour gym and Spin & Play area, a 24/7 laundry with arcade-style games including foosball and Xbox Kinect. These facilities give solo travellers, couples and families ways to relax or keep busy without leaving the property.

Dining is centred on Black Fire Restaurant, where the hotel describes the cooking as Mediterranean-influenced and based on seasonal, locally sourced produce. Breakfast is served as a buffet with hot and cold options, tea, coffee and fresh fruit juices. The hotel also lists a coffee shop offering brewed coffee, pastries and light snacks, as well as in-room dining. For guests wanting to explore Brisbane, the CBD setting puts city attractions, transport hubs, Queen Street Mall, the City Botanic Gardens, QUT Gardens Theatre and the Museum of Brisbane within the broader nearby area. The concierge can also provide recommendations and travel assistance. Secure on-site self-parking is available, subject to availability.
