Mantra South Bank Brisbane

Mantra South Bank Brisbane is an apartment hotel on Grey Street, in the middle of South Bank’s arts and culture precinct. Its position puts guests beside the Brisbane River and South Bank Parklands, with South Brisbane and South Bank train stations nearby. QPAC is about 350 metres away, while Queensland Museum and QAGOMA are also within walking distance, making this a practical base for galleries, performances and city exploring.

Accommodation ranges from hotel rooms and studios to one- and two-bedroom apartments. Several apartment types include balconies, and selected rooms offer city views. That range gives couples, families, solo travellers and business guests different formats to choose from, with the apartments offering more space for longer stays or small groups. The hotel also has 24-hour reception, Wi-Fi, air conditioning, wheelchair accessibility and on-site or self-parking options.

For downtime, there is a heated 20-metre lap pool, spa and a fully equipped gym on level two. The gym is open from 6am to 9.30pm, which suits an early workout or a session after a day around Brisbane. The property is non-smoking and does not accept cash payments; credit, debit and prepaid cards are accepted. Pets are not permitted.

The on-site Ovello Bar & Kitchen brings a relaxed Mediterranean feel to the hotel, drawing on the colours and casual atmosphere associated with the Amalfi Coast. It serves à la carte breakfast and dinner, with a spritz offering, stone-baked pizza and Italian share plates. The space is suited to a low-key meal without leaving the building, although the website notes that restaurant hours can vary with demand. Meeting and event facilities include three rooms, with the largest measuring 55 square metres and capacity for up to 50 people, giving the hotel a useful business and group function as well as a leisure focus.
