Rydges South Bank Brisbane is a modern and comfortable hotel with an attractive location in the heart of the popular South Bank district – one of Brisbane’s most vibrant neighbourhoods. Here, you’ll be staying close to the river and within walking distance of cultural attractions, restaurants, and the city’s lively atmosphere.
South Bank is known as Brisbane’s cultural hub and offers a wonderful blend of green parks, museums, and a wide selection of restaurants and cafés. The area sits right on the banks of the Brisbane River, making it ideal for a stroll along the promenade. Here, you’ll find the iconic Wheel of Brisbane – a large Ferris wheel with panoramic views over the city – as well as the popular Streets Beach, an artificial lagoon and sandy beach in the heart of the city, perfect for swimming and relaxing. The area also features several museums and galleries, along with a wealth of dining options along the riverfront.
Brisbane’s city centre (CBD) can be reached on foot in around 15–20 minutes via the bridge across the river.
Rydges South Bank Brisbane has 304 rooms spread across 12 floors. The rooms are spacious and styled in a contemporary design, offering facilities such as air conditioning, Wi-Fi, a flat-screen TV, ironing facilities, a minibar, tea- and coffee-making facilities, and a workspace. Several rooms also feature a balcony with views over the Brisbane River or the city skyline.
The hotel is home to the award-winning Bacchus Restaurant, which serves contemporary dishes in elegant surroundings. You can also visit the more laid-back CBD Café Bar & Dining, the perfect place to enjoy light meals, a coffee, or a drink in a relaxed atmosphere.
The hotel also features a small outdoor swimming pool, fitness centre, and sauna – ideal for unwinding after a day full of experiences. In addition, there is a 24-hour reception, on-site parking (at an additional cost), and conference and meeting facilities.
