Hotels in Brisbane Region, Australia

Brisbane sits along the winding Brisbane River, basking in a subtropical climate with hot summers (77-88°F / 25-31°C) perfect for kayaking the river or cooling off at South Bank's artificial lagoon, and mild winters (50-68°F / 10-20°C) ideal for exploring the city's street art in Fish Lane or catching a live show at the 1,600-seat Brisbane Powerhouse. The region splits into the urban core with its riverside bars and the nearby Gold Coast's surf breaks or Sunshine Coast's hiking trails, so you can city-hop one day and paddleboard the Broadwater the next. In summer, you can take a whale-watching cruise off Moreton Bay, while winter draws bargain hunters to the Eat Street Northshore markets.
