Brisbane Riverside by Convido

Brisbane Riverside by Convido stands at the top of Queen Street, at the river end of the city near Customs House and the Riverside precinct. Brisbane Central Station is about seven minutes' walk, the Story Bridge under a kilometre, the Queen Street Mall a little over one, and the Roma Street Parklands about a kilometre and a half.

The building runs forty levels. Apartment balconies take in the city or the river, and the facade is designed as a veil that shades the glass while framing the view. In the lobby, a thirteen-metre sculpture assembled from around twenty thousand bolts runs the height of the space, which is a better welcome than most.

The roof is where the facilities are. An infinity pool looks across to the Kangaroo Point Cliffs with a gym on the same level, both with sweeping views over the skyline, and a barbecue area for the evenings. Down at ground level, a library and formal and casual meeting areas sit off the lobby, alongside cafes and retail.

Check-in runs from two in the afternoon and paid parking is available on site.
