The Emporium Hotel in Fortitude Valley's Emporium Precinct is one of Australia's most awarded boutique hotels. Its entrance is spectacular in red and silver and features design pieces by Queensland artisans.
The hotel features 102 studio suites, each individually finished with contemporary furnishings and even an eight-choice pillow menu.
There are Standard and King suites, King Spa Suites, Emporium Suites on the top floor, which open to a large balcony with views of the city skyline. The hotel has also introduced indulgent Deluxe Corner Suites, which are spacious two-roomed Suites, providing a generous 76 square metres of living space.
While at the Emporium, guests can also enjoy the rooftop lap pool, sauna and gym. The rooftop terrace also has great views over Brisbane and the iconic Story Bridge.
Emporium's Cocktail Bar features an onyx bar, overlit by an antique German chandelier acquired from a castle in Europe. The bar's exquisite stained glass wall has quite a history. One hundred years ago it was a Parisian shopfront, and it was then sent to Buenos Aires where it was a window in a mansion of a French aristocrat and finally acquired by an Australian antique dealer who sourced it for the hotel owners.
The Emporium Precinct has a terrific selection of award-winning restaurants, cafés and fashion stores, and you are close to the CBD, theatres and other entertainment.
