A Fijian man has been jailed for life for killing an Australian tourist in May last year.

The Suva High Court convicted 22-year-old Isoa Codrokadroka of murdering Brisbane man Dale Groeger following a fight in the city's Peninsula Hotel.

The court's three assessors delivered a unanimous guilty verdict on the murder charge.

In delivering his sentence, Justice Gerard Winter rejected claims Codrokadroka acted in self defence during the fight.
