The Brisbane Marriott Hotel has a club lounge and is a Bonvoy point earn and burn hotel in Category 4. It is probably your best option in Brisbane if this is the loyalty scheme that you favor and is one of the best Marriott Bonvoy hotels in Brisbane. It is also cheaper on points than the W, which we have reviewed above.
This 5-star luxury hotel is situated right in the hub of Brisbane city, between the CBD and the trendy cafes, restaurants, and boutiques of Fortitude Valley. Brisbane Marriott Hotel is also superbly located next to Brisbane’s best riverfront dining, shopping and transport facilities.
With 263 luxurious guest rooms and 4 suites, all offering spectacular views of the Story Bridge, Kangaroo Point Cliffs, iconic Brisbane River, or City Skyline, this hotel is a good choice. They say that “all travelers, regardless of whether they are traveling for business or leisure, will enjoy complimentary valet car parking when staying in one of their Executive level rooms. Additionally, they will also receive complimentary continental breakfasts, evening drinks, canapés, and desserts. All served in the elegant and sophisticated Executive Lounge. Located on the 26th floor, this exclusive area is a place where guests can enjoy the little luxuries whilst relaxing in a very stylish and comfortable environment overlooking the beautiful views of Brisbane.”
Brisbane Marriott hotel is also home to a world-recognized day spa, The Dome Spa Retreat. Open 7-days per week, this is a popular spa for brides and their bridesmaids to get pampered for the wedding. For guests looking to rest and relax, then the hotel’s Grecian-inspired pool deck is the perfect area for guests to take some time out. Featuring a spa, sauna, sundeck, fully equipped gymnasium, and stunning views of the Story Bridge.
Executive rooms are all on the hotel’s upper floors and include access to the Executive Lounge, which takes up most of the 26th floor and is open from 6:00 am to midnight seven days a week. The lounge itself is a bit sterile with comfy but functional chairs, tables, magazines, and newspapers available, but the food is decent. Breakfast is served 6:00 – 10:00 am and offers a wide range of cereals, cheeses, meats, smoked salmon, and fruit.
In the evening, canapes and nibbles, beer, wine, and spirits are available but being that the environment is not super snazzy, you are better off staying at the Sofitel in Brisbane. In the Marriott, coffee, tea, and light refreshments are available throughout the day, but the main advantage is the glorious view across Brisbane. In most other ways, this lounge is rather average.
