Best Luxury Hotels in Queensland

This luxurious resort is the perfect place for golfing fanatics to stay as it comes complete with its very own 27-hole golf course. The enchanting sands of Surfers Paradise Beach are also just a short stroll away, while guests are provided with stunning views of the beach from the picture windows and balconies of their spacious double guest room. The RACV Royal Pines Resort 5.0 boasts more than three hundred rooms to choose from and in addition to a large and lovely swimming pool guests are invited to make full use of the tennis courts, fitness centre and other perfectly maintained amenities.

Based on the River’s edge of Brisbane’s Central Business District (CBD), the Marriott Bonvoy stands tall and thin, not entirely dissimilar to a New York-style hotel, and offers easy access to river walks and all the bars and restaurants that congregate accordingly by the water. As well as a swimming pool, dry sauna and gym, the hotel offers a ‘Rare and Exceptional Cellar List’ which includes Jeroboams and Methuselahs of champagne. Watch out for afternoon teas on Friday and Saturday, a frivolous but enjoyable way to while away your afternoon. 

A sanctuary of luxury, this hotel is decadent, different and just a little bit wild. Its quirky architecture makes its mark on the Fortitude Valley skyline. While inside you’ll find facilities including a chic French bistro (Bisou Bisou), a Mediterranean rooftop bar and restaurant (Iris), a pool bar, a gym, around-the-clock concierge and room service, a secretarial service for business travellers and nanny hire for parents who want to party (or rest). The cutting-edge design incorporates bold art and avant-garde lighting with a striking monochrome palette. Bedrooms are equipped with tablet control systems, double-headed showers and minibars.

Despite the fact that it was established more than three decades ago, the Sheraton Mirage remains the epitome of luxury and the ocean facing rooms are difficult to beat with their huge picture windows and balconies that offer uninterrupted views. In fact, the hotel boasts some of the largest and most comfortable guest rooms in the area and there are 25 different configurations to choose from. For the best that money can buy, guests should make sure they select one of the 18 private villas, which often play host to visiting celebrities. In addition to first rate rooms, guests are also treated to a range of very luxurious amenities and the Oasis Pool is the perfect place to unwind. With 250 sun loungers to choose from guests never have to worry about fighting for their place in the sun.
