Why it's worth checking out
Emporium Hotel South Bank is a boutique hotel in Brisbane’s South Bank, offering accommodation alongside a broad range of dining, wellness and event experiences. The hotel’s suites are described as luxuriously appointed, while facilities include a rooftop pool, gym, sauna and steam room, and The Healing Stone Day Spa. Its rooftop Terrace is positioned as a place to take in views from an infinity pool and enjoy the atmosphere from morning through to late evening.
Dining is a major part of the experience. Firma Italian serves rustic trattoria-style food and is open for dinner seven days a week. Belle Époque brings a Parisian feel to South Bank with pastries, brunch and high tea, while The Reserve Wine Bar focuses on wines sourced, cellared and curated over more than 30 years. Its enomatic system allows guests to sample premium wines usually sold by the bottle, and the venue also offers sommelier-led tastings, cocktail masterclasses and bespoke wine-and-dine events.
The hotel’s named experiences extend beyond the restaurants. The Magic Table combines dinner with 3D storytelling and interactive magic, and the rooftop Terrace is designed as a dedicated social space. Guests can also book in-suite dining, an all-inclusive Emporium Breakfast, private dining, celebration cakes and event catering. The hotel has purpose-built facilities for conferences, meetings and weddings, making it suitable for both overnight stays and larger gatherings.
Couples can choose a Romance Package, while the Pure Pamper offering and spa facilities suit a more relaxed stay. For wine enthusiasts, the Sommelier Experience includes four curated wines, four small bites and guidance from an expert sommelier in a group of up to 12. The hotel also promotes experiences including helicopter flights, e-bike hire and day tours to destinations such as Lady Elliot Island and Lone Pine. With accommodation, restaurants, bars, leisure facilities and event spaces in one South Bank address, Emporium suits travellers seeking a hotel stay with plenty to do on site, as well as groups planning a celebration or function.
