Why it's worth checking out

Novotel Brisbane South Bank is a contemporary hotel in South Brisbane, positioned close to the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre, South Bank Parklands, Queensland Performing Arts Centre and Queensland Art Gallery. South Brisbane railway station and the Brisbane River CityCat are both listed as about 600 metres away, making the hotel a practical base for business trips, concerts, gallery visits and exploring the surrounding precinct on foot.

Accommodation ranges from standard and superior king or double rooms to park-view and city-view options, pool-access rooms and larger suites. The Junior Suite has a separate lounge and bedroom, while the Family King Suite combines an interconnecting double room with suite accommodation and can sleep up to eight people. There is also wheelchair-accessible accommodation, giving the property flexibility for couples, families, groups and travellers visiting Brisbane alone.

Facilities are designed around an easy hotel stay rather than a self-contained resort experience. Guests have access to a 20-metre swimming pool, gym and zen terrace, with the fitness centre overlooking the pool deck. The hotel is fully non-smoking, has Wi-Fi, air conditioning, meeting rooms and on-site parking, with parking listed at $38 per car for 24 hours subject to availability on arrival. Its setting also provides views towards Brisbane city and the surrounding suburbs.

Dining is centred on Spice Central Kitchen & Bar, an in-house restaurant with a bright interior, a lush backdrop and a central show kitchen. The restaurant’s approach combines polished cooking with modern interpretations and a focus on herbs and spices, while the adjoining Spice Central Bar offers a lounge setting with views towards Musgrave Park. Buffet breakfast, lunch, dinner and bar service are available in the hotel’s ground-floor dining space. The site notes that lobby and restaurant enhancement works are scheduled from mid-May to September 2026, with temporary arrangements intended to minimise disruption and dining services continuing during the works.
