Best rooms

Request a high-floor room on the north or east side of the building, away from Boundary Street. Upper floors (10–18) minimise street rumble and offer better city views.

Request a room on a high floor, ideally at the end of the corridor away from the lift and service rooms. This usually means less foot traffic and better silence for sleeping.

Rooms to avoid

Avoid rooms on floors 2–4 facing Boundary Street; double-glazing is standard but Brisbane traffic starts early and weekend revellers can be audible. Also skip rooms near the lift core on any floor — the single bank of two lifts can be noisy in mornings and evenings.

Avoid rooms directly adjacent to the lifts, ice machines or stairwell doors — these get steady noise from guests and staff. Also skip rooms above the main entrance or bar area, as street-level activity can carry.

Wi-Fi

Free basic Wi-Fi (up to 10 Mbps) for all guests; premium tier $10 AUD per 24h (up to 50 Mbps). No login constraints beyond room number and surname.

Free standard Wi-Fi (up to 10 Mbps) for IHG Rewards members; premium tier (up to 50 Mbps) AUD 15 per 24h for non-members; login via room number and surname.
