Nestled at the gateway to Brisbane’s CBD, The United Service Club Queensland enjoys a prestigious and easily accessible location at 183 Wickham Terrace, Spring Hill. Perched on the elevated ridge of Spring Hill, the Club offers a commanding view over the city and is just moments from the bustling heart of Brisbane.
Set within two beautifully preserved heritage-listed buildings — the grand Green House and the elegant Montpelier — the Club is surrounded by leafy streetscapes and historic architecture. This refined setting offers members a unique blend of old-world charm and city convenience. Its elevated position allows for privacy and tranquility, while still being within walking distance of Central Station, major hospitals, and key business precincts.
The Club’s serene garden terrace and manicured surrounds provide a calm escape from the urban rush, making it a perfect retreat for socialising, dining, networking, and celebrating.
Buildings located at 183 Wickham Terrace comprise The Green House - a federation-era timber residence which is important in illustrating the principal characteristics of a distinctly regional, climate responsive style of architecture with polygonal bays and widened verandahs, abundant carpenter decoration and beautiful and unusual flying gables. The Montpelier building demonstrates stylistic elements of Federation Arts and Crafts architectural style and has some handsome interior details such as beam-and-column ensembles, well-detailed joiner, fireplaces, and Art Nouveau pressed metal ceilings, cornices and leaded glass. Importantly, Montpelier is significant in illustrating a now rare example of its type: an early 20th century purpose-built, middle-class private hotel or boarding/guest house. Accommodation rooms operate to this day.
There is also a large carpark at the rear of the buildings, accessible via Upper Edward Street.
