Amazing pool and rooftop bar, ice bath, steam and sauna awesome, rooms great, mirrored surfaces need cleaning better, most of the top rooms are infront of the lifts and thus super noisy, switch panels need covering at night for blackout.

We stayed here our first stay in Brisbane and my husband was very upset I hadn't booked it on our return when we came back just to catch our flight back to the states. I booked next to the airport and won't make that mistake again.

"I still feel the hotel needs more attention to detail. Maybe it’s just me, but I notice small things that aren’t done, and with a price tag like Emporium’s, everything should be flawless. The glasses in the bathrooms were cracked, my bed wasn’t made one day, and they provided body lotion in the shower but no body soap. These little things really stood out."

Loved the modern, luxurious feel of this hotel. The video screens in the elevators were so quirky and unique. The staff were super helpful and friendly, and the food in the rooftop restaurant was excellent. Belle Epoque had the most incredible blueberry pancakes with lemon curd, persian fairy floss and pistachios. I had the best nights sleep ever, and loved the mirror/tv screen. Totally recommend!

Booked the Pool Cabana room for $1100 a night - Such loud music outside room until late. Terrible service. Everything delayed luggage to room, no assistance to find entrance into hotel room - which is off the pool also and not at all private. Nightmare room for the cost. Overrated hotel
