Top hotels in Raby Bay
Amora Hotel Brisbane
This is one of the nicest hotels I’ve ever stayed at. It has a good location to walk around the city and near shopping as well as the botanical gardens and the views of the city. The staff was wonderful and I will definitely stay here again when visiting Brisbane.

Ibis Styles Brisbane Elizabeth Street
Great for location and fit for purpose (couples weekend away). Got upgraded on arrival which was amazing as it was my wife’s birthday and first weekend without the kids for a while. Pretty much A+ in every way except the fridge didn’t work and maintenance had left for the day… so cannot go to five ...
