There’s no reason why you can’t indulge your penchant for a bath on your next Brisbane getaway, with plenty of accommodation options in Queensland’s capital city catering to those who have a soft spot for a bubble-based soak. Relax on your next stay, with this guide to Brisbane accommodation with a spa bath.
While you’re spending some time in the Scenic Rim, why not spend some time in a decent bath. Spicers Hidden Vale sits just 30 minutes outside of Ipswich but feels a world away thanks to it being perched on 12,000 acres of bush. This Brisbane accommodation doesn’t just have a spa bath, but a heralded restaurant, the hatted Homage.

Back in the CBD you’ll find another of Brisbane’s accommodation with a spa bath; Sofitel Brisbane Central. Arguably the most convenient of all of the capital’s hotels, this luxury stay sits above Central Station, boasting 416 rooms and suites, each with a marble bath to beckon relaxation.
This popular place is not only seriously stylish but one of the Brisbane accommodation options with a spa bath (and a stand-alone spa to boot). Among The Calile Hotel’s collection of gelato-hued rooms is a duo of pinnacle suites; The Calile and Ada. Both boast circular tubs accompanied by enticing city views and brass accents.

Across the river on South Bank sits Emporium, the ostentatiously-styled Brisbane accommodation with spa baths. While most of the outlandish rooms come equipped with a bath of some kind, real soak enthusiasts can’t go past the Poolside Cabana Suites - the bath in each of these is joined by views of the surrounding Brisbane River.
Make way for Tamborine National Park for your next soak, where Cedar Creek Lodges are scattered among 114 hectares of native flora. This secluded destination houses a collection of architecturally designed lodges and holiday cabins, among them the Heritage Spa Rooms are a non-negotiable for bath lovers.

Plan your next escape to adults-only Tamborine Mountain retreat Witches Falls Cottages. The Scenic Rim resident consists of a handful of self-contained cottages (each with double spa bath) which neighbour Witches Falls National Park, the oldest national park in the state.
Another of Queensland’s adults-only retreats is Pethers. The boutique Brisbane accommodation option with spa bath boasts 10 separate tree houses for guests, with not just a spa for two, but a fireplace, king bed, lounge, and dining area.
Sit back and relax among the native foliage with a stay at O’Reilly’s Rainforest Retreat. On the outskirts of Brisbane this famous family-owned enterprise nudges the Gold Coast as a part of Lamington National Park. Among the room options, choose the villas - these all have outdoor spa baths under the canopy.
Take it easy off shore on Stradbroke Island. The popular island escape is where you’ll find Whale Watch Ocean Beach Resort, which may have simple furnishings, but does include a spa bath in a number of its family-focused suites.

One of the more recent additions to the Queensland hotel scene is the first Australian outpost of the W Hotel Group. Brisbane’s version is heavily influenced by its surroundings in terms of decor, with wood panelling and tin tubs featuring in every hotel room (accompanied by plenty of eclectic pineapple accents).
In Samford Valley sits Clear Mountain Lodge, a 51 room and suite space just 30 minutes or so from Brisbane city. After a day spent exploring the surrounding Brisbane Hinterland and taking in the views out onto Lake Samsonvale and Moreton Bay, sit back and relax in the free-standing bath that is found in each of the Lodge Suites.
