Pullman Brisbane Airport Review

With a view over the airport tarmac, there’s no danger that you will forget your impending departure at the Pullman Brisbane Airport. However, don’t expect to hear the planes or have them disturb your sleep because it just doesn’t happen. The spacious rooms are well kitted out for a traveller’s needs, with plenty of spaces to charge your phone in places where you won’t forget it (yes, this happens a lot!). In our Pullman Brisbane Airport review, we highlight how this hotel ranks among Brisbane Airport hotels, offering amenities that exceed expectations.

The bathroom has everything you need, plus a makeup mirror, which is often lacking in hotel bathrooms. The hairdryer has enough grunt to dry your hair in minutes, not hours, like some of the pathetic, noisy excuses for hair dryers I have experienced in my travels. For the plane spotter, the ultimate temptation might be the ability to push back the glass doors surrounding the bathroom and still plane watch while sitting on the loo! This unique experience adds to the charm that makes it a standout in airport hotel reviews.

Pullman Brisbane Airport Hotel has 132 rooms with two Presidential Suites, six Junior Suites and 45 Executive Rooms. The 20-metre ground-floor lap pool has a series of daybeds and pergolas for the ultimate in relaxation. The pool is only open to house guests.

Ibis Brisbane Airport Hotel is just next door

The 4-star Pullman Brisbane Airport Hotel is located right next door to the 3.5-star Ibis Brisbane Airport Hotel, which boasts another 243 guest rooms, making it a convenient option for travellers. On the ground floor of the Ibis, the Cribb Island Beach Club is a relaxed bistro with an adjoining café, named after the suburb of Cribb Island, which has been taken over by airport development. Perched atop the Ibis is the Sky Lounge, a rooftop bar and function area offering stunning views of Moreton Bay and beyond. It’s a great location to watch the sunset on another beautiful Brisbane day, and this added charm enhances its appeal in airport hotel reviews.

Eat local at Apron Restaurant, Pullman Brisbane Airport

Taste the region with Moreton Bay oysters, local barramundi or free-range suckling pig or a mud crab congee at the hotel’s upscale restaurant, Apron. Located on the ground floor of The Pullman, the 90-seat a la carte restaurant and private dining area have a carefully-curated menu that features excellent produce sourced from the regions directly around the hotel.

Day-trippers can relax at the Apron Bar

If you just want to escape from the airport to somewhere quiet, the Apron Bar is an excellent choice. Take a seat in the lounge area or prop yourself at the bar from midday through to late in the evening any day. The bar has a nifty phone charger built into the bar top.  If your phone is not the latest enabled charging model, they have red ring adapters on hand for patrons so you can charge your phone at the bar simply by putting it in the right spot. Staff research shows it takes about one minute for each per cent to charge. That’s guilt-free drinking/charging for 100 minutes.
