Why it's worth checking out
Stamford Plaza Brisbane is a riverside hotel in New Farm, positioned beside the Brisbane River and close to the Botanic Gardens. The location also puts guests near Brisbane’s financial district, city shopping, theatres, restaurants and nightlife, making it suited to visitors who want accommodation with easy access to central attractions. The hotel promotes river views from every room, with outlooks across the Story Bridge, Kangaroo Point cliffs, Brisbane River and Botanic Gardens depending on the room or suite.
Accommodation ranges from Superior and Deluxe River View rooms to larger suites. The Story Bridge Suites include separate lounge and bedroom areas, a dressing room and a marble bathroom with a separate bath and shower, while the Plaza Suite has a private terrace and open-plan living space. Room features listed by the hotel include Wi-Fi, tea and coffee-making facilities, a king bed, an in-room safe, a desk and a 24-hour concierge. These details make the property a practical option for short city stays, longer visits and guests looking for more space.
Dining is a major part of the experience. La Boca Bar and Grill is the hotel’s riverside restaurant, centred on a wood-fired parrilla and Argentinian asado cooking. It has a casual setting, an extensive wine list, sangria and cocktails, with lunch and dinner available seven days a week. Kabuki offers teppanyaki alongside a traditional à la carte menu, while The Pav Bar provides a more relaxed option in an open-air courtyard, with sport shown on screen. The hotel also promotes Catering 2 Go for savoury and sweet selections for events.
For something more leisurely, Stamford Plaza Brisbane runs several high-tea formats, including the Lobby Lounge Spirit of Queensland High Tea, a riverside Chocolate High Tea Buffet and themed School Holidays High Tea. A buffet breakfast is also offered at the Riverside Promenade, including hot breakfast options, pastries, cereals, fruit, yoghurt, cheeses and cold cuts. With its mix of accommodation, dining and event offerings, the hotel can suit business travellers, families, groups and visitors planning a Brisbane stay around the river and city.
