On North Quay, W Brisbane looks across the Brisbane River towards South Bank and the city’s cultural precinct. Rooms and suites bring playful Queensland references into an urban high-rise setting, using river-facing windows, bold colour and generous bathrooms to create a lively retreat above the water. The Lex, Living Room Bar, WET Deck, AWAY Spa and FIT give the hotel its dining, cocktail, pool and wellness layers. Queen Street Mall, the Gallery of Modern Art, Queensland Performing Arts Centre, Howard Smith Wharves and the wider central business district sit within the surrounding riverside network.
