In-Depth Review
Rooms and decor
The #3 pick is the one that gets us up high: Meriton Suites Adelaide Street fills a tower that runs about 234 metres on the northeast side of the CBD. There are roughly 216 suites, from studios to 3-bedroom layouts, and the Altitude Suites start on the 63rd floor. From those upper floors the city reads like a model below you — a view you rarely get from a hotel sitting in the middle of the Brisbane CBD.
Food and amenities
Every suite has a full kitchen — large fridge, oven, coffee machine — plus an in-room washer-dryer, which is exactly why families and long-stay guests book here. Many units open onto a balcony looking over the city and the Brisbane River. Guests in reviews talk about coffee on the balcony while the city wakes up, and that's the moment that makes paying for a higher floor worth it. Shared facilities cover an indoor pool, spa, sauna and a fitness centre.
Location and getting there
The hotel sits on Adelaide Street, a block from Chinatown Mall, so dinner in Chinatown is an easy walk and the riverside path is only a few minutes away. Central Station is about an 11-minute walk, and Brisbane Airport is roughly 15 km to the northeast. The trade-off is the location: this is the northeast corner of the CBD, so the main Queen Street shopping strip is a longer walk than from the hotels at the heart of the grid.
Things to know before booking
It's an apartment hotel, so front-desk and concierge service runs lighter than a full-service luxury property — you trade some hand-holding for kitchen, laundry and space, so it suits self-sufficient travellers more than those who want full hotel attention. On-site parking exists but is charged on top of the room rate, so budget for it if you're driving in. And the location pulls double duty as the main drawback: great for Chinatown and the river, a real walk to the shopping core.
Our take
This one's for couples and families who want apartment space with a skyline view. If the idea of sleeping near the top of a 234 m tower, with a full kitchen to cook in and laundry you can run yourself, sounds like your kind of stay, Meriton Suites Adelaide Street delivers. Real guests rate it 8.8/10, and rooms start around $127 a night.

Insider Tips
- Ask for an Altitude Suite on a high floor — that's where the wide city and Brisbane River views actually pay off.
- Walk over to Chinatown Mall for dinner; it's the closest cluster of food and saves you the trek to Queen Street.
- Make the most of the in-suite kitchen and washer-dryer — stock the fridge and run a wash mid-stay instead of paying laundry fees.
