The W Brisbane was the first of W Hotels chain in Australia. Its’ design and interiors are inspired by Aussie vibes and the design narrative ‘A River Dreaming’ - a story of the serpent river and the life river brings to the city. Brisbane is a fast growing city with a history of flooded plains, divided by the river, represents a unique connection to the Australian identity. The W DNA has been woven in with the free and easy Aussie attitude. Colour, colonial heritage, modernity, ethnicity and influence of Australia’s indigenous roots, with a BrisVegas attitude and sense of humour. From the moment of arrival the vision is to showcase a hotel that has an Australian slant on it. The feeling is one of positive energy that flows throughout the hotel from the moment the guest enters. Inspired by the beautiful aspects of Queensland’s heritage to form a contemporary interior, W Brisbane celebrates the best of Australia and provides a contemporary interpretation of Brisbane’s indigenous heritage.
