Ranked among the top three convention centres in the world, Brisbane has won many awards for its ability to stage top-notch events of international appeal. The board of directors, displaying meticulous planning skills to cover the needs of the entire centre, endorses an active sustainability program for the environment it creates. Part of this plan is to expand a completely new level. Construction is underway and scheduled completion is set for 2011.
Trade events, expo's, rock concerts and cultural shows all attract large attendances. The four and five star accommodation provided by the city has a multitude of choices, so the only difficulty will be which one to choose. Less than one kilometer away from the BCC are the Central West End Apartments. Rated as four and a half star accommodation, it offers many luxuries that a resting traveler might need.
If keeping slim while surrounded by temptation is your thing, then by all means indulge in the wonderful gymnasium, sauna and spa. And then balance it off later with a dip in the outdoor swimming pool. Regular exercise will give results if one is consistent, so being on holiday is no excuse for dropping a fit and healthy regime. Especially with the presentation of delicacies and treats from many of the cafes and restaurants just minutes away from the apartment. These businesses are happy to charge back to your apartment for ease and convenience. Eating out could not be more indulgent and worry free for a total feeling of contentment in enjoying the meal and the experience.
A little further away at just over one kilometer from the BCC, is the Abbey Hotel Resort. A Four star rating offers apartment living with all the luxuries one comes to expect in a fine hotel. Cable TV is available when enough sight seeing has been achieved and some quiet time is appreciated. Relax on the queen sized bed in a one bedroom, very spacious apartment with personal bathroom. A private balcony for taking in some fresh air and local panorama can be a very secluded clandestine haven for the busy entrepreneur or executive.
A free bus service provides passengers with transport to the main local arenas and offers a shoppers tour of the city. Other handy facilities available are an internal laundry, dry cleaning services, internet access and a tour desk with all the information one could want on what's happening in Brisbane.
For extra convenience, two of the hotels are right next door to the centre. A total of twenty seven other hotels and apartments are within the two kilometer distance. It's all there, made so easy to walk to at any time of day or night.
Access to the Brisbane Convention Centre accommodation is a top priority for visitors to Queensland. It is a very well connected city and prides itself on being compact and visually beautiful. In contrast with most major cities, many picturesque walks along the river and bridge may give the weary traveler a sense of serenity.
