We know it was the site of the old Transport Department and were really impressed with the transformation of the building into an art hotel. The decor and the artworks are very complimentary with the keeping some of the feel of the old building with the exposed concrete. We really liked it. Also that it is so close to the city where we were going that evening.

The Art Johnson is very conveniently located near the main Brisbane CBD, and close to any of the expressways to get to other parts of Brisbane. The Bed was comfortable, but I found the pillows too soft.

loved the industrial feel the apartment itself had to it, the open floor space concept was so nice and made the apartment feel more spacious and comfortable. loved the detatched double sinks in the ensuite - made it easier for myself to get ready as well as partner. the bed was so spacious and relaxing, made it easy to fall asleep as well as stretch out without bothering my partner.

They took special care to supply a lovely room satisfying our particular requests for myself and my husband who has arthritis. The room was much nicer than we expected, very spacious, very high ceilings, lovely tall height doors, which opened which we also like, out on to a little balcony. Separate dual vanities in bathroom, with a separate room for the toilet. Wall dispensers for hand and bath wash, shampoo and conditioner. Nice modern kitchen with microwave, cold mini fridge, Nespresso machine supplied with capsules. Individual air con controls. Did not have to empty our own rubbish which is unusual these days. Quiet location, with free circle bus at door which takes you down into the city, the city stop being across from a Woolworths supermarket and Big W store or one stop prior drops you right at Brisbane Central Railway Station. There is a restaurant downstairs on street level below the Johnson and cafes across the street.

Room was huge, and so was the bed. The 'view' was of a car park, which wasn't great. But nice to have a balcony at least. Rooms were nice and quiet, as was the whole property. Pool area was nice - although I couldn't see where you could get a pool towel, so we brought the ones from our room. Pool was massive, but FREEZING! I guess that make sense if you're swimming laps - but for the casual swimmer who just wants a comfortable dip, it was a little bracing. Given there's no food service at the hotel, having some kind of 'recommendation' booklet or list of preferred places around the area would have been handy.

It was the perfect package. From the moment I walked in I felt I was in a art gallery, clean lines, lots of light and very welcoming. I learnt a few things about Michael Johnson. A perfect homage to the artist.

Cool artist place to stay. Bed super comfortable and location was great to walk to the hospital which was the purpose of our stay.

The design and decoration is quite artistic; the room is super spacious with different function corners; the linen is extra comfy and the skin products smell gorgeous. The welcoming bar is very thoughtful-coffee machine and tea is high quality with yum biscuits to go with; room service is daily and responsive. The staff were welcoming and prepared a little surprise for my child, thank you! Bus 30 is just in front of the hotel making it convenient to travel to city. The outdoor swimming pool looks wonderful with lots of chair beds to enjoy sunbath.

Loved the nice art, especially the touch of including a small blank canvas in the room to encourage guest creativity. Was thrilled to see a spin bike in the gym! Spacious rooms, friendly staff, included a cute gift for my birthday :) quiet neighbourhood so we could get some sleep at night.

The staff were very helpful and gentle. Rooms were spotless when we arrived. Location was great, short distance walking from central station 🚉. There is, also, a bus stop just in front of the hotel. The restaurant downstairs the hotel is a must to do, they serve the sea food straight from the bag to the table. We had breakfast at sisco cafe which was great but there is another restaurant-cafe which has Colombian food, so we had our second breakfast there.
