W Hotels, part of Marriott International, is set to open the first five-star hotel in Brisbane’s central business district in two decades.

Located at 300 George Street, W Brisbane will mark the re-entry of the W brand into Australia, with room bookings to commence in November 2017.

The new hotel will offer 312 rooms, including 29 suites, many with stellar views across Brisbane River to South Bank and Mount Coot-tha.

For meetings and events, approximately 1,100 square metres of flexible spaces, fully equipped with the latest AV facilities, will be on offer.

There will also be three onsite venues to eat, mix and mingle. W Brisbane’s signature restaurant will feature the best locally sourced produce and interactive live cooking, with an alfresco vibe that invites the Queensland outdoors in.

The Living Room (W’s take on the traditional hotel lobby) evolves from a serene spot to relax or meet during the day to a lively hub in the evening with a dedicated DJ booth, or guests can re-charge poolside at the WET Deck with a swim, an Aussie barbeque and a range of smoothies.
