The Sportsman’s Hotel is a Brisbane institution offering budget-friendly accommodation in the heart of Spring Hill. Just a short walk from Fortitude Valley and the CBD, this long-running gay hotel combines relaxed pub vibes with genuine community spirit. Guests can enjoy hearty counter meals, pool tables, and lively drag shows without ever leaving the building.

Upstairs, simple but comfortable rooms provide affordable lodgings for solo travellers and couples who want to stay close to Brisbane’s gay nightlife. Downstairs, the Bunker Bar turns up the heat with themed nights such as underwear, leather, and bear parties, making Sporties the perfect choice for those who like their accommodation with a social twist.
