A terrible disappointment. I had heard that the Stamford Plaza was the original 'grande dame' of five-star hotels in Brisbane but was shocked at the condition of the property. It's clearly on its last legs and being prepared for either sale or redevelopment as clearly no funds to modernise and update the facilities have been invested for many, many years. The main restaurant is a disgrace and not fitting of a property of this kind. An Argentinean grillhouse serves as the venue for all meals. The ambience is threadbare, the seating terrible and outdoor terrace area frankly depressing and rundown. The bar is characterless and uninviting The guest rooms are very outdated and the furnishes and fittings have long outlived both their service and aesthetic lifespans. I'm sorry but I'd have to strongly advise others from staying here. I do hope there are investment plans for this property, given its superb location on the river and being right next to the Brisbane Botanic Garden. As it stands, the hotel is a terrible letdown and frankly an embarrassment for the city of Brisbane.
