Top choice in Brisbane


Above the Queen St Mall, Next delivers stylish, affordable accommodation. Rooms are generic though svelte and contemporary, with high-tech touchscreen and app technology and decent beds. The outdoor lap pool flanks a buzzing bar, itself adjacent to a handy traveller lounge (with massage chairs and showers) for guests who check in early or want a place to relax before a late flight.

There's also an on-site gym and limited valet parking ($55 per night).
