Rydges Fortitude Valley
This is a nice hotel, located in a quiet area. Our room was a good size and comfortable. We ordered room service on our first night and enjoyed the quality and taste of what we ordered - as well as the timeliness of receiving our order. The area is walkable and has dining options.

Capri by Fraser, Brisbane
Overall a good stay. There was an issue with the bathroom but it was resolved. The pool is not too bad temperature-wise. It would be nice if the sauna and steam rooms were co-ed but they are not.
