The Point Brisbane Hotel is in Kangaroo Point, the peninsula that faces the CBD across a bend of the river, and it puts you close to some of the best outdoor attractions in the city. The Kangaroo Point Cliffs, with their climbing and abseiling, the Story Bridge and the cliff-top parkland are all within walking distance, and the riverside path leads to the CBD and South Bank. The property is aimed at travellers who want more space than a typical hotel room, with apartment-style accommodation that suits families and longer stays, so check the room descriptions on the booking page to see the layouts and the facilities. Kangaroo Point has a relaxed, residential feel with cafes and restaurants on Main Street, and the ferry terminal gives a scenic way to reach the city. It is a good choice for active visitors who plan to climb, paddle or walk, and for anyone who prefers a quieter base without leaving the inner city.
Location and getting around
The Kangaroo Point ferry terminal and the CityCat run to the CBD and South Bank, the Story Bridge links the peninsula to Fortitude Valley and the city on foot, and buses run along the main roads. The Kangaroo Point Cliffs are a short walk, and the Story Bridge Adventure Climb starts nearby, which makes this one of the best bases for combining the climb with the cliffs and a river kayak. The Gabba stadium is nearby for sports fans, and a rideshare to the CBD takes only a few minutes.
The stay itself
As an apartment-style property, expect more room than a standard hotel, with space to spread out and, in many room types, kitchen facilities. Check the booking page for the room categories, since the details vary, and look at parking, laundry and housekeeping arrangements if you plan a long stay. Facilities such as a pool or gym depend on the property, so confirm them before you book. The area is quiet at night compared with the CBD, though traffic on the main roads can be heard.
Who it suits
Active travellers, families wanting space, couples after a quieter base and visitors planning a week or more in the city. It is less polished than the luxury hotels, but better value for many guests, and the location for outdoor activity is hard to beat. Pair it with the Story Bridge climb, the Kangaroo Point Cliffs rock climbing session and the river kayak tour, and compare it with the Emporium at South Bank for a more upscale suite hotel. Book early for weekends and for event days at the Gabba.
