Frommer's "The Stamford is one of Brisbane's most beautiful hotels: comfy oversize chairs and sofas, enormous still-life oils, gilt mirrors, and palms dot the marble lobby." Full review
Insight Guides "Brisbane’s finest luxury hotel is in the city centre beside the historic Botanic Gardens. Elegant rooms of generous country-style proportions overlook the winding Brisbane River."
Star Service "In a sleek grid-fronted structure on the Brisbane River, close to shopping, this property is the leader in town, though its claims of luxury have been tempered." Full review

Despite this, the staff is slow to respond to special requests in advance.
