The location of this hotel could not be beter, right in the thick of things but in a lovely quiet spot overlooking the river, you don't feel like you are in the middle of the city at all, The view is fantastic sitting in front of the large window even though we were only on the 5th floor.
The buffet breakfast was excellent in a lovely setting overlooking the river.
We found the room to be very small, we had a twin room and there was only about 10 cm between the single beds. I have stayed at 4 star hotels that have 2 double or queen beds so was surprised by this for a 5 star hotel. The Air conditioning became to hot during the night and woke us up so it had to be adjusted several times. The bathroom is large but dated and nothing special. The service was average, on check in we were not advised as to where the included breakfast is served or where the lifts are in the large lobby, we had to find things out for ourselves and on check out the receptionist just said "thats fine, thank you" without even looking up from her computer. A smile and "I hope you enjoyed your stay" goes a long way.
The pool area in looking very tired and there is no pool attendant that we saw, departed guests had left wet towels on all the chairs so you had to clean up yourself before sitting down. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend this hotel on location alone.

Have stayed here many many times over the years as a night out treat with Hubby. Always had a great time here, the decor is very sophisticated and views of river and Storey Bridge wonderful.
We have stayed in the Presidential suite on one occasion and loved it. It has recently had a renovation and is even more fancy now and a favourite of the celebs who pass by Brisbane. We always choose to stay in a junior suite it doesn't cost that much more but the suites are beautiful with a dressing area and huge bathroom with TV. The bedroom and lounge area are open plan and the furniture is top notch. It is a lovely suite to open a bottle of champers and take in the sunset over the river.
Breakfast is plentiful and you can choose to sit inside with air conditioning or outside with views of the river. We have stayed in all the five star hotels is Brisbane and this is by far the best also lots of restaurants within walking distance and the park and gardens right next door. Also can walk to city centre for shopping.

We recently stayed over the Australia Day weekend and enjoyed its central location on the river. The furnishings and general foyer area are a little dated, but of a high standard.

The room itself is a little small, however the bathroom is above average in size. Great views from every room overlooking the river and Kangaroo Point/Story Bridge.

Our package included breakfast which was of a high standard.

Of the top end hotels in Brisbane's CBD, I would probably go for the Sofitel first, however - if I can get a room at a better price at the Stamford - I'd stayed here again.

The hotel is in a very convenient location, close to everything and a lot of restaurants just on the doorstep. It's also close to the city ferry. The room was very spacious with lovely furnitures, the bathroom was very bright and clean. The views are outstanding, we stayed at the 14 floor, and had a view of almost the whole city. The food at the Moo Moo was very good. Will definetly stay there again.
