We loved the view from the 11th floor where we stayed. It looked over at Southbank and Brisbane city. The numerous taverns and cafes were below and across the road at Southbank. The markets, also at Southbank, were crowded and entertaining. Plenty of coloured lights and entertainment in entire area. Within short walking distance to Brisbane city if you wanted to go there or Casino. Will of course be back to Ridges. A suggestion - a little kitchenette would enhance the room.

This is an excellent location for the South Bank. The hotel is modern, and smart. The hotel restaurant food was superb. However we had a bedroom directly over the bar, which on one evening had a birthday party, therefore be careful about the room allocated. We should have asked to be moved.
