The New Inchcolm Hotel

Name: The New Inchcolm Hotel
Address: Brisbane

An elegant city retreat

Elegant, charming and luxurious, this boutique hotel is the ideal place to call home while visiting Brisbane. Close to the busy heart of the city, the heritage-listed property, which dates back to the 1880s, offers extreme privacy for those wishing to escape the rush.

The 50 impeccably designed rooms and suites are all about comfort and convenience. Muted colours, eclectic design notes and textures combine in each of the rooms in the art-deco hotel. Retreat to the comfort of a quiet suite, or drink in expansive city views through floor-to-ceiling windows in the Inchcolm Loft – whichever room option you choose, the attention to detail and service will make it a memorable stay.

Thomson’s Reserve Restaurant offers guests meals a la carte, or tasting menus paired with wines. Soak up the historic atmosphere of the hotel as you enjoy a quiet dinner for two, or feast with friends. Then, round off the day with drinks at the sophisticated Socialites Bar, which brings to mind the Roaring Twenties.

Places to combine The New Inchcolm Hotel with

Brisbane

The Fantauzzo

Designed to merge with Brisbane’s striking Story Bridge, this creation of unique architecture and art was inspired by the Australian painter, Vincent Fantauzzo. Spread across six stories, this exceptional hotel exudes creative inspiration around every corner, merging luxurious features with innovation.

With easy access to the city’s trendiest hub, The Fantauzzo features 166 stylishly designed suites, looking out across the river or the promenade. Contemporary furnishings complement muted colour schemes, enhanced by emerald and navy-blue velvet seating and bedding. Fantauzzo’s artwork adorns the walls of both the suites and the communal spaces, and guests can enjoy complimentary art tours with a resident art expert, and access to in-room art channels and libraries.

State-of-the-art facilities include a fully-equipped gym, while the rooftop pool and bar offer an enticing spot to take in the city vistas while making your way through the cocktail menu. The hotel’s restaurant, Polpetta, is an ode to all things authentically Italian in a most casual setting, allowing you to leisurely dine on Rome-inspired delights, paired with a Negroni or two. If you want to venture out into the city, bicycles, scooters, and branded Fiats are available.

The Calile

Inspired by Brisbane’s subtropical climate, this resort-like hotel has been designed to delight. From the scattered palm trees embracing the white exterior to the perfected palette of pastel tones, this millennial dream of an escape lures you away from the bustle.

There are 175 rooms, with views of the city or the pool, and some encompass private balconies and separate living areas. Décor pays homage to 1950s Miami, and airy spaces are enhanced with partially cork-panelled walls, marble flooring, and oak features. Deep, circle-shaped baths, with brass taps, sit in the middle of the rooms, or by the windows, offering dreamy vistas over the treetops.

The pool and spacious deck serve as the main highlight, encircled by striped cabanas, which you can dine and drink in. The lobby bar, with playful fabrics, curved arches and low-hanging lights is where breakfast is served, as well as tipples and light snacks throughout the day. Hellenika, the hotel’s main restaurant, facing the pool, promises a menu of small authentic Greek dishes, ideal for sharing. To work out post-feasting, a fully-equipped fitness centre is positioned on the ground floor, and for further indulgence, a coral-coloured spa will have you breathing easy.

W Brisbane

Its location on the banks of the Brisbane River and great array of facilities make the W Hotel a wonderful option for those exploring the vibrant city of Brisbane.

The hotel, as with all W hotels, is undeniably cool. Bold colours and quirky touches characterise the public spaces and rooms, of which there are 312, which range from the Wonderful, Spectacular and Marvellous rooms through to the WOW and Extreme WOW suites. All offer views of the river.

Dining at the W is a real treat. The Three Ducks restaurant is a beautifully designed space with earthy tones, natural materials and smooth lines that mimic the curvature of the river. Here guests can enjoy fresh, seasonal ingredients cooked in the wood fired oven and charcoal pit. There is a covered balcony for year-round al-fresco dining. The Living Room Bar is the perfect place for a cocktail before dinner or heading out to experience the city.

There is also a rooftop swimming pool, gym and spa with salt inhalation chambers, aromatherapy steam baths and vitality pool.

Sofitel Noosa Pacific

This family-friendly hotel is close to Noosa Beach and Noosa National Park. The 176 studios, suites and villas offer guests a luxurious home away from home, with views out over the ocean, inviting pool or village. Both the rooms and public spaces are bright, elegantly designed and filled with natural light. Some rooms include their own spa tubs.

Dine at Noosa Beach House where chef Peter Kuruvita and his team present coastal dishes in a chic setting. Tuck into fresh seafood and Mexican inspired snacks at Noosa Beach House Bar, or take a dip in the lagoon-style pool and enjoy a drink at the swim up bar. Then end the day with a nighcap at the Riviera Bar and Lounge with its views out over the Noosa River.

Take advantage of the spa and health club when you aren’t out exploring or soaking up the sun on the beach.
