W Brisbane

W Brisbane channels the energy of its riverfront setting into a hotel that is both playful and polished. Located on North Quay, the property embraces bold design, vibrant dining and the brand’s trademark lifestyle programming to create a destination as much for locals as for travellers.

Interiors draw inspiration from Queensland’s landscapes, with wave-like forms, river motifs and a palette of vivid colours. Guest rooms are designed with a mix of comfort and theatre — open-plan layouts, bold artwork and modern technology combine with expansive views of the Brisbane River. Bathrooms with freestanding tubs and statement lighting reinforce the sense of drama.

Dining is a strongpoint. Three Blue Ducks delivers a seasonal, produce-driven menu in a relaxed, social setting, while the Living Room Bar and WET Deck provide a nightlife energy that shifts seamlessly from day to night. Beverage programs highlight local distilleries and global influences, extending the sense of play.

Wellness is interpreted through FIT gym, AWAY Spa and a striking WET Deck pool overlooking the city. Events, from fashion activations to DJ sets, reinforce the hotel’s role as a cultural hub, blurring the boundaries between hospitality and entertainment.

Service reflects W’s “Whatever/Whenever” ethos, delivered with confidence and personality. Staff act as connectors and guides, ensuring that experiences are curated to guest preferences while maintaining the brand’s irreverent tone.

W Brisbane embodies the city’s creative, youthful energy — a luxury lifestyle hotel that captures Queensland’s spirit in technicolour.
