Five Star Brisbane Hotels may not be as many in their number as can be found in Sydney and Melbourne, but they are among the country’s finest establishments.

Whatever kind of trip you have planned there is the ideal Five Star Brisbane Hotel from where to experience the city and its surrounding state in the way most desired.
As Australia's third biggest city, its charms and appeal are occasionally overlooked by those who haven't yet had a chance to visit. Once seen merely as a pleasant enough place for stopover en route to the great wide state of Queensland in all its magnificence, it has changed considerably over the last few decades.
The modern city is characterized by a vibrant mix of art, music, natural beauty, ecological awareness and a heritage which predates the formation of the state and the first European settlement. Those looking to discover a few of the qualities which lend Australia its distinctive allure couldn’t do better than to take some time to appreciate this special metropolis.
Sydney and Melbourne are both valued for having their own unique identities and the capital of Queensland is no different. Of the modern city, the South Bank has become nationally and internationally famous, not least for the Galley of Modern Art which sits among other artistic and cultural institutions. This modern art gallery is the country's premier venue for national and international artists. Being the biggest of its kind on the continent it has allowed for a previously unprecedented space for large-scale installations.
The South Bank is generally considered the cultural heart of Queensland, as well as being one of the most valued cultural nodes in the southern hemisphere. Guests of Five Star Brisbane Hotels in and around the South Bank can not only enjoy the pervasive sense of sophistication which extends from the Queensland Cultural Centre into the restaurants and further afield, but they will also have prime views of the city's river. This combination of art, beauty and sophistication infuses the Five Star Brisbane Hotels in the area. There are few better places to make a home away from way while enjoying the manifold delights that are only a short, pleasant walk along the river.
Even those who find themselves visiting to engage in one or more of the many business concerns, which are part of the fast developing city, won’t be able to escape the city's historical richness. Reflective of the commonwealth heritage, the streets of the CBD enjoy a rather curious system of naming. This system employs the names of the male and female members of the House of Hanover, ascribed horizontally and vertically respectively, so that they run perpendicular to each other.
The CBD also enjoy a great deal of natural beauty, making it rather less overwhelming than the typical concrete jungle of a modern metropolis. Situated on a point of the river, the water runs gently by while both the botanic gardens and surrounding parkland add to its appeal. As with the rest of the city, it is a hilly area, built on ground which leads to the Taylor Range mountains in the west. Few of Australia's city's offer such magnificent views as can be enjoyed from the higher floors of the Five Star Brisbane Hotels.
Visitors hoping to engage some of the vibrant nightlife and more alternative music, art and all that comes with it, might seek accommodations in the famed Fortitude Valley suburb. A place of filled with creativity and a dash of Bohemian chic, it is an area largely responsible for earning the city the accolade of being one of Billboard magazine's top five global hotspots for music.
The city may have changed considerably over the years, going from strength to strength and developing as a primary centre for cultural pursuits, but it has always been and will remain a popular destination for those who hope to escape the urban and explore the natural beauty of Queensland. Aside from being a vast state which varies in every direction, offering the adventurous and leisure seekers a wonderful selection of climates and landscapes, it is for the Great Barrier Reef that many visitors find themselves coming to this corner of Australia.
Five Star Brisbane Hotels are strictly of the city itself, but they are the perfect luxury accommodation for an overnight stay before heading off the coast and all its marvellous areas of beauty. Of course, there are some great accommodations options all over the state. Along the coast, with clear views of the cerulean Coral Sea and the Great Barrier Reef, visitors can find themselves enveloped in true castaway seclusion. A few exceptional establishments exist close to or on the shore, as well as one or two on the nearby islands.
The charm of a secluded island escape may appeal as much to professional divers as adventurous romantics, and many places offer ideal accommodations for both kinds of trip. Families need not feel left out, on Moreton Island, just over a hour from any Five Star Brisbane Hotel, both the young and the young at heart can experience the joy of a ecologically aware environment, perhaps even feed a dolphin or two at a resort.
