Treasury Brisbane occupies one of the most handsome heritage addresses in the city, the old Treasury Building precinct at the William Street end of the CBD, facing Queens Gardens and just steps from the river. The hotel is part of the Treasury casino complex, which means the property has the energy of a resort-style entertainment venue, with gaming, restaurants and bars under one roof, and that suits some guests and not others. The building itself is the draw, with a grand sandstone facade and a sense of old Brisbane that you do not find in the glass towers a few blocks away. Rooms are in the hotel section and range from standard categories to suites, so check the room description carefully for the one that suits your needs. Its location is excellent for sightseeing on foot, with Queen Street Mall, the Botanic Gardens, the river path and the ferry terminals all within a short walk, and with South Bank reached across the Victoria Bridge.
Location and getting around
Queens Gardens sits right in front of the property, with a pleasant green space and heritage buildings, and the riverside walk to the Botanic Gardens is a few minutes away. The CityCat and ferry terminals are close, and the train stations at Central and Roma Street are an easy walk. If you are driving, parking is typically available for a daily fee, so confirm it with the booking page.
The stay itself
Guests staying at a casino hotel should know what to expect. The venue is lively, particularly on weekends and evenings, and the gaming areas are part of the complex, though guest room floors are separate. Ask for a quiet floor if you like peace, and look at the facilities listed for your room type, since amenities vary. Dining options within the complex are generally varied, and room service is usually available.
Who it suits
Guests who love historic architecture and a central address, couples on a city break and groups who want entertainment on hand. Families can stay, though the casino atmosphere is not for everyone, and travellers who prefer a quiet boutique feel may do better elsewhere in the city.
It is excellent for the Story Bridge, the City Hall clock tower and the galleries at South Bank, all within walking distance or a short ride. Compare it with the Pullman at King George Square for a similar location with a different feel, and book earlier for event weekends.
