Queensland’s River City is booming, with more hot new accommodation
offerings than you can count on all fingers. From glamping tents and riverside
wharf residences, to moody five-star digs and a 1920s bank-cum-220-room
hotel, each new gem is embellishing the Brisbane skyline with their own quirk
and character. Here are the latest Brisbane hotels seriously upping the ante:
NOW OPEN

The Valley Brisbane (opened July 2018)
Ovolo is continuing its Brisbane
expansion with the transformation of
the former Emporium Hotel Fortitude
Valley. The ‘ovolution’, which started
with the rebranding of the property as
The Valley Brisbane, will incorporate
a transformation of rooms and public
spaces before evolving into Ovolo The
Valley at the end of 2018. New food
and drink concepts and the celebrated
‘freebies’ (free mini bar, breakfast, wifi,
happy hour and all-day snacks) will be
introduced to complete the evolution.
Ovolo The Valley marks the second
Brisbane property for the brand, after the
opening of Ovolo Inchcolm hotel in April
2018. www.thevalleybrisbane.com.au
