Hotels in Brisbane Region, Australia

Brisbane is the sun-soaked capital of Queensland, Australia, famous for its subtropical climate and vibrant riverfront lifestyle. With hot, humid summers (December to February, averaging 86°F/30°C) perfect for kayaking on the Brisbane River or cooling off at Streets Beach in South Bank, and mild, dry winters (June to August, around 70°F/21°C) ideal for exploring the city's laneways and catching live music at the Fortitude Valley's indie rock venues. The best time to visit is autumn or spring (March to May or September to November), when you can hike the Kangaroo Point cliffs for skyline views and hop aboard a CityCat ferry to the isolated Moreton Island for dolphin feeding and sandboarding.
