Less waiting, more family time at Brisbane Airport

Turn those tricky hours between flights into a comfortable break the whole family can enjoy.

Travelling with kids is an adventure, but early flights, long layovers and tired little travellers can make the journey feel longer than it needs to. Instead of spending hours keeping everyone entertained in a busy terminal, imagine having your own private space to stretch out, recharge and get ready for what’s next.

The Day Stay & Refresh Package at Brisbane Airport Hotels gives families exactly that. Enjoy the comfort of a private room for the day, without the need to book an overnight stay.

Located only minutes from Brisbane Airport’s terminals, ibis Brisbane Airport, Novotel Brisbane Airport and Pullman Brisbane Airport make it easy to swap terminal waiting time for a relaxing family break.

Turn waiting time into quality time

Available daily from 9am to 5pm, Day Stay rooms give your family a comfortable base when travel plans leave a few extra hours to fill.

Let the kids catch up on sleep, enjoy a refreshing shower after a long flight, recharge devices, grab something to eat or simply spread out and enjoy some much-needed downtime before the next part of your journey.

It’s a great option for:

• Long layovers at Brisbane Airport
• Early arrivals before hotel check-in
• Late departures after hotel check-out
• Families needing a quiet place for children to rest
• Travellers refreshing after a long-haul flight

With air-conditioned rooms, high-speed Wi-Fi, on-site dining and access to selected hotel facilities, those hours between travel can suddenly become one of the easiest parts of the day.

Pick your perfect family pit stop

With three hotels and three Day Stay options, it’s easy to choose the experience that suits your family.

ibis Brisbane Airport – From $165

A great-value option for families looking for a simple and comfortable place to unwind. Enjoy convenient access to the relaxed and family-friendly Cribb Island Beach Club for an easy meal before heading back to the airport.

Novotel Brisbane Airport – From $175

With spacious rooms and welcoming facilities, Novotel is a great choice for families wanting a little more room to spread out. Guests can enjoy Catalina Bar & Restaurant, along with gym, pool and sauna access.

For families wanting a little extra comfort during their journey, Pullman offers stylish rooms and premium facilities. Enjoy Apron Bar & Restaurant, relax in the Executive Lounge or take a refreshing dip in the resort-style pool.

Start the next leg feeling refreshed

A few comfortable hours can completely change the way a family travel day feels. Kids have space to rest, parents have time to recharge, and everyone can head back to the airport feeling refreshed and ready for the journey ahead.

Whether you’re between flights, arriving early, departing late or stopping in Brisbane before a cruise, a Day Stay at Brisbane Airport Hotels can turn waiting time into welcome downtime.

Day Stay rooms are especially popular during school holidays and peak travel periods, so booking ahead is recommended.
