Street, on the site of the old law co urts, and
offering views from South Bank to Mount
Coot-tha, the W Brisbane boasts three bars
and restaurants (including the renowned
Three Blue Ducks from The Farm at Byron
Bay) in addition to 312 guestrooms. The
design of the hotel pays tribute to the local
Indigenous culture and the river culture that
defines Brisbane, with the motif snaking
throughout. Equipped with the iconic
‘Whatever, Whenever’ W service (meaning
guests can pick up the phone and ask for
anything that is legal) the hotel is certainly
raising the bar on Brisbane’s accommodation
offerings. www.starwoodhotels.com/
