We had a great stay at the Distinction. We stayed in the executive suit, and it was a fantastic room. Lovely and clean, nice staff, comfortable bed and in general great facilities. But there was one disappointment, and it was their TV's. They are too old. You can't connect with your phone and in general way out of date. Where live streaming is commonplace everywhere now, I was surprised that this was an issue. Get that fixed and get that fixed soon I would suggest.

We stayed 3 nights here (Fri, Sat, Sun) and were happy with the overall experience. The location of the hotel makes for an easy walk to the "octagon" area for food, drinks etc. Our 8th floor room was clean and quiet and check in was an easy process. Parking is actually in a multi storey car park directly opposite the hotel (was $74 AUD as of 30/09/2025 for the 3 nights). The room also came with a washer / dryer which was a nice touch. Bed was a little challenging comfort wise as it was two separate beds "wrapped" with King sheets to make the one. Elevator wait times can also be a little tricky as there is only one for each wing of the Hotel. In short, would we book again - yes. Enjoyable and pleasant overall - yes.

The suite was wonderful—very spacious; lovely rain shower; staff was friendly, courteous and helpful with restaurant recommendations and sites to explore. Food at the hotel restaurant was great—we had a fabulous lamb dinner one evening—it was the best meal we had while visiting Australia and NZ. Go to the restaurant—you won’t be disappointed.
