Rydges South Bank is ideally located for the Queensland Performing Arts Centre (ie Lyric Theatre, Cremorne Theatre etc.), the Queensland Museum, the Queensland Art Gallery and the Convention and Exhibition Centre.

A lovely hotel . Everything you'd expect from a 4 star hotel. Breakfast is not included, nor is parking, which can be very expensive ($25 per day, valet only). The hotel itself is great: clean, friendly staff, bar & resteraunt downstairs and located on Grey St which is full of buzzing modern cafes and bars. However it is on the... more

Stayed at the Rydges for 2 nights in a room with 2 double beds. Having stayed at this property about 3 years back I knew the location would be perfect for the Theatre and Southbank Markets. I must say the decor in the rooms and service has improved considerably since my last visit and I enjoyed my stay. The room... more

We stayed at this hotel in October and had a rather horrible stay but we stayed again in January mainly becuase of the Great location right next to the Southbank Parklands, City and Convention Centre. I think we were upgraded because of being a Priority Guest to a corner suite on the 12th floor. It had a seperate bedroom, great... more

I'm surprised at some of the negative comments for Rydges Brisbane as we've stayed there many times & we will be staying again in March this year. The staff are well trained and eager to help. The rooms are a good standard and the breakfasts are wholesome. The location is great as is it situated at Southbank. more

I love the booking system where you can select options such as a cheese platter or wine on arrival and book your breakfast beforehand. The central location is very convenient, and the valet service is very useful. Check in was smooth and quick. Basically, all you can expect from a high end hotel at a very reasonable price. more

We stayed here for 2 nights in a junior suite. I booked directly through the Rydges website and got a great price of $149 a night by joining their priority members. What I'm most impressed with is that they allowed all 5 of us, 2 adults and 3 children share the same room, I don't know how many times I've... more
