Novotel, South Bank, Brisbane

The Novotel South Bank is a located in the heart of the cultural precinct of the city. It is perfectly placed to enjoy Brisbane and it’s authentic river city lifestyle. In just a short walk you can find art galleries, museums, the famous South Bank swimming pools, world class shopping, restaurants and more. The rooms feel huge and are well appointed with lots of variety; from rooms to suites, some even with pool access, and themed rooms. There is a gym as well as a swimming pool, and very easy car parking options. The hotel also has its own restaurant, Spice Central Kitchen & Bar. We enjoyed both the buffet breakfast and dinner menus, as well as the in-room dining at the Novotel. They had a fantastic school holiday program on offer and our three children really enjoyed their art class, and the balloon twisting.
