The 10 best hotels in Queensland, Australia

August 10, 2022 Esmeralda Fenner

Some of Queensland’s most remarkable sights require you to leave terra firma. Off its coast sits the Great Barrier Reef, the world's largest coral reef. Snorkel and scuba among 1500 resident fish species, or sail through the Whitsundays’ white-sand atolls. Back on dry land, you’ll find tropical escapes in the Daintree Rainforest to the north, rugged outback to the west and alfresco dining on the Gold Coast in the south. South East Queensland boasts mountain views, vineyards and ‘river city’ Brisbane.

Lovely service, great position, really comfortable

Reviewed By traverse101

We stayed for a night and can highly recommend this lovely hotel. Thank you to Millicent at the front office for a wonderful stay, organising everything for us, including making a dinner reservation at the restaurant (separate review for that, it was great). The hotel was clean, friendly, nothing was too much trouble. It is a great location. The bed was SUPER comfortable, and I loved the bathroom design in our room (corner suite) which had lots of natural light and felt spacious (unlike all the dark, dingy bathrooms in many hotels). The hot chocolate was also perfect. Thank you :)

Rhapsody Resort

Drawing inspiration from the sea, Rhapsody’s designers have created a dynamic beachside apartment address. A sophisticated architectural statement reminiscent of grand vessels from a bygone era. A building of two distinct architectonic elements encased in a dramatic corten steel street level hull, destined to become the signature of the Surfers North precinct in Surfers Paradise, Australia.

A nice home away from home

Reviewed By Amymiaomiao

This is a nice and cozy resort for holiday stay, home away from home. There are a number of things that I love about Rhapsody: 1. Daily housekeeping service to keep the apartment nice and shine everyday and we came back with clean towels. 2. The king size bed in master room is so huge and comfortable. 3. Lovely sea view plus water view at the back 4. Parking is provided for which is essential as it is hard to find on Surfers Paradise 5. The front desk is friendly and always helpful 6. Kids’ room is also lovely and the kids enjoyed their own little space. I just love staying at Rhapsody resort each time we go to Gold Coast. It is a second home for us. Thank you!

Adina Apartment Hotel Brisbane

Immerse yourself in this grand historic building suitably in the center of Brisbane. The Adina Apartment Hotel Brisbane is heritage-listed and artfully restored with a classic yet contemporary design. Located on George Street, the ground floor lobby space celebrates the building’s Art Deco origins. A stone’s throw from Queen Street Mall and Queen’s Wharf, or a brief stroll will find you in amongst buzzing Southbank’s cool bars, restaurants and parklands.

Upon arrival we had Luke who greeted us out the front of reception with an amazing smile and personality. Luke has given the best service we have received here at the Meriton Broadbeach in the 10th are we have been staying. The young lady Jodie was very very rude and made my husband feel like he was an invalid. We will be back but only because of Lukes Service.

Awesome staff from the Manager, front desk staff cleaners etc they were so accommodating and non intrusive and plenty helpful when needed, would recommend to any of the Military Veterans whether past or presently serving, this place is a safe and relaxin haven. Any veterans out there with a service/assistance dog this place is for you! Can not thank the Manager and the Ladies and very kind Gentleman at the front desk for all there help, some places that we have stayed at have been very stressful…not here! The staff are more then accommodating so much of a relief to finally stay somewhere which is close to everything you need yet quiet which is hard to say for Gold Coast. Will be booking again whenever we are down there next! Congrats on the service and your hospitality that’s was forever shown every day! Much thanks and love from Tanky boy, Cristy and Kyle. Much appreciated to everyone in the team!
