The Calile Hotel has been named No.12 and The Best Hotel in Oceania at the The World’s 50 Best Hotels awards.

Announced in London this week, the World’s 50 Best Hotels list was created by The World’s 50 Best Hotels Academy, an group of more than 580 independent experts.

The Calile Hotel co-owner, Catherine Malouf, said it was an honour to make the list.

 “This is a win for our team, our collaborators, our loyal guests and a win for Brisbane as a destination, and we are humbled to represent the Australian hotel industry on the world stage,” she said.

“There is no doubt The Calile Hotel has carved a name for itself and sparked a trend in ‘urban resorts’ with its bold architectural commitment, sustainable practises and by embracing its local and sub-tropic climate within an urban setting.”

Designed by Richards & Spence, event organisers have several spaces to choose from for meetings and corporate functions with a grand ballroom catering for up to 500 guests.

The level two amphitheatre is ideal for smaller cocktail events of up to 100 guests and offers planners a blank canvas to create the perfect event setting. 

Hotel General Manager, Rob Unson, said being named 12 in the world was a great win for Australian tourism.

“It takes an outstanding team to deliver outstanding guest experiences, and I want to take a moment to thank the hotel team; from our housekeepers to our pool attendants, maintenance and kitchen teams and our front of house guest service attendants,” he said

“This accolade is a testament to their professionalism.”

The Top 3 Hotels on the list were: Passalacqua, Moltrasio; Rosewood, Hong Kong and Four Seasons Bangkok at Chao Phraya River.
