Luxury Hotels Australia
Five-star service, world-class dining, and extraordinary locations — Australia's finest stays.
Australia's luxury hotel scene is defined by its diversity — from the architectural grandeur of Sydney's harbour-front properties to the raw beauty of Tasmania's wilderness lodges. What sets Australian luxury apart is its connection to landscape. You're as likely to find a world-class suite framing the Great Barrier Reef as you are overlooking a vineyard valley at sunset.
Five-star hospitality in Australia means more than thread counts and marble bathrooms (though those are included). It means personalised itineraries crafted by the concierge, chefs who know local producers by name, spa therapists using native Australian botanicals, and staff who remember your name and how you take your coffee. It's luxury that feels genuine rather than performed.
LP Travel gives discerning travellers the ability to compare rates across premium properties, read verified reviews, and book securely at the best available price. Whether you're planning a honeymoon, a milestone celebration, or simply want the best room in the house, we'll help you find it.

Insider Tips for Luxury Travel
How to get the most from five-star Australian stays.
Book direct for upgrades
Many luxury hotels offer complimentary upgrades, late checkout, and breakfast when you book directly through their website.
Try shoulder-season stays
April–May and September–October deliver excellent weather and 20–30% lower rates at premium properties.
Ask about packages
Spa, dining, and experience packages often save 15–25% compared to booking each element separately.
Join loyalty programs
Hotel loyalty programs (Hyatt, Marriott, Accor) offer room upgrades, lounge access, and elite benefits even at entry tiers.
Consider all-inclusive lodges
Remote luxury lodges that include meals, drinks, and tours can offer better value than urban five-stars with à la carte pricing.
Celebrate something
Mention anniversaries, birthdays, or honeymoons — five-star hotels regularly provide complimentary champagne, cakes, or room enhancements.
