About Treasury Brisbane
In the heart of Brisbane's CBD stands one of Queensland's most extraordinary addresses — Treasury Brisbane. Occupying a magnificent sandstone building that dates back to 1889, this five-star boutique hotel is a masterclass in the seamless marriage of heritage architecture and contemporary luxury.
Originally constructed as a series of government buildings — the Land Administration Building, the Public Offices Building, and the former Treasury Building — the complex is now a Queensland Heritage Register-listed landmark that has been transformed into one of Australia's most distinctive hotel experiences.

Original architectural features — soaring ceilings, ornate cornices, sandstone walls, and arched windows — are preserved and celebrated throughout.

Dining & Bars
Treasury Brisbane's dining venues are an essential part of the Brisbane culinary landscape, drawing locals and guests alike for their quality, atmosphere, and distinctive settings within the heritage precinct:
- Stoke Bar & Restaurant — a celebrated dining destination showcasing the finest Queensland produce. Chef-driven seasonal menus highlight the extraordinary quality of Moreton Bay seafood, local beef, and tropical fruits. An exceptional wine list features Australian and international selections.

- Heritage Lane — a charming cobblestone laneway connecting the precinct, lined with casual dining and coffee options throughout the day.
Entertainment Precinct
Beneath the grandeur of the heritage sandstone exterior lies Treasury Brisbane's world-class entertainment precinct — a sophisticated venue operating exclusively for adults aged 18 and over, in accordance with Queensland licensing laws.
The entertainment complex spans three levels and features an extraordinary variety of gaming options across a beautifully restored series of heritage rooms. The combination of original 19th-century architectural detail — ornate ceilings, chandeliers, and marble floors — with contemporary entertainment creates an atmosphere entirely unique in Australia.
- Treasury Entertainment Floor — multiple rooms across historic heritage spaces
- The Private Rooms — exclusive VIP entertainment suites for invited guests
- The Terrace — outdoor entertaining with Brisbane River glimpses
- Live entertainment programme — regular headline acts and performances
- Dedicated host services — personalised attention for every guest
Wellness & Leisure
Treasury Brisbane's wellness offering may be boutique in scale, but it is exceptional in quality. The hotel's dedicated wellness facilities have been thoughtfully integrated into the heritage building, providing a tranquil contrast to the vibrant entertainment precinct below.
Guests enjoy access to a fully equipped fitness centre, a heated lap pool with heritage views, and a dedicated wellness treatment programme. In-room spa treatments can be arranged through the concierge for the ultimate in private indulgence.
The Heritage Architecture
No review of Treasury Brisbane would be complete without proper acknowledgement of the extraordinary building that houses it. The complex is composed of three distinct heritage structures dating from 1885 to 1928 — each significant in its own right, together forming one of Brisbane's most architecturally important ensembles.
The neoclassical and Italianate facades of warm Queensland sandstone glow magnificently in the afternoon sun, creating a visual spectacle that makes the hotel instantly recognisable on William Street. Interior spaces feature original pressed-metal ceilings, ornate plasterwork, grand staircases, and beautifully restored hardwood floors — all painstakingly preserved during the building's conversion.

Treasury Brisbane's central CBD location places guests at the very heart of everything Brisbane has to offer. The South Bank cultural precinct — home to the Gallery of Modern Art, Queensland Museum, and the South Bank Parklands — is just across the Victoria Bridge.
