Stayed at Rydges Southbank for 3 nights while attending a conference at the Brisbane exhibition centre. Booked a queen deluxe view room - this is well worth the money, as you get a wonderful balcony with a fantastic view over the city.The location of rydges cannot be beaten, 30 second walk to the conference centre, great views over southbank and...

I stayed in this hotel for four nights while attending a conference in the adjacent exhibition centre. The rooms are very comfortable, very clean and have good quality furniture and bedding. there is a good sized TV which annoyingly is always on the pay movies advertising channel when turned on. The breakfast buffet is very good, but expensive at $29.50.... More

We normally stay in the CBD in Brisbane but South Bank is a much better place, especially right on eat street (Gray St).

Location is perfect for events at the Brisbane Convention Centre or Southbank. The rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable.

Valet parking was great, and while expensive - as anywhere in the city is - it was... More

There are several good restaurants within a... More

The Rydges Hotel is perfect if you are going to Brisbane to see a show. Walking distance to the theatre. Due to work being carried on around the hotel it was difficult to find. I was greeted by a very pleasant concierge person who parked my car. Welcomed and check in very quickly at reception with everything explained in a... More
