Stayed at the Sofitel Brisbane Christmas 2017. For this stay I booked a club room with city view. The room was very comfortable with excellent facilities.
Interestingly a junior suite was actually cheaper however did not come with the access to the club floor so I opted for the smaller room.
View was excellent.
Club floor is great. Christmas 2016 it was very crowded so 2017 they appear to have been tighter on entry to the club. This enabled easier access to seating at peak times as well as less crowding at the buffet.
Food offerings and drinks were plentiful however outside of service times the offerings were thin on the ground.
Some nights I noticed a dessert was served around 8, some nights nothing happened. I was a little disappointed when there was this inconsistency.
Breakfast in the club was excellent.
Service throughout the hotel was excellent and I can feel confident that this is offering a five star service in Brisbane.
Only flaw I noted was one morning I was unable to get a cab with the bell man chatting with cycling friends leaving a hand full of people standing unsure how to get the taxi drivers attention.
Recommendations: The city view rooms are wonderful, aim for the highest floor you can get. (From past experience booking through discount wholesalers = lower floor. Booking via hotel = higher floor).
Club rooms are worth it for access to the lounge.
