The property is two beautifully renovated old Queenslander homes. It was a great alternative to a "normal" hotel and I loved the atmosphere. The suite I stayed in had a deep bath with bath salts provided. Just what I needed. The bed was super comfortable. I didn't want to to leave. Breakfast was included and was superb.

My husband and I just had a fantastic overnight stay. The staff couldn't be more attentive, helpful and accommodating.The room was gorgeous. The bed and pillows were amazing. And to top this we got to enjoy a beautiful breakfast on the restaurant deck, nestled by beautiful flowering trees and interesting street views. The restaurant catered any changes to the set menu with with helpful ease. For just a short over night stay, we were amazed how relaxed we felt. Thankyou to all the staff for making our stay so special, your simple personal friendly manner was truly delightful.

“Great boutique hotel with lots of luxe touches”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group of friends
- • Executive Queen Room
- • Stayed 1 night
We came home from a wedding late at night and left early - would loved to have spent more time relaxing in the lounge or checking out the view on the top floor.
The hotel aesthetic had an old world luxe feel with lots of lush furnishings and wallpaper. The staff are really friendly and accommodating, while the restaurant had delicious food and excellent coffee. The room we stayed in was quite small but really well appointed with lots of lovely small touches. Relatively expensive but probably normal for the brisbane CBD.
