The boutique luxury and lifestyle brand, Hotel Indigo, has launched its first Queensland hotel with the opening of Hotel Indigo Brisbane City Centre in riverside North Quay.

As a brand renowned for its powerful storytelling, the neighbourhood tales are brought to life through a myriad of unique art and design features that showcase the sights, sounds and flavours of its local neighbourhood.

Peppered with hand-painted artworks and murals created by local Queensland artists including Blends, Leans and Fuzeillear, each artwork tells a unique Brisbane story that reflects the city's history makers, hidden gems and laneways.

One of the hero pieces is a large-scale artwork by Blends that features a blue wren on an intriguing black portal positioned a staggering 16 stories high on the side of the hotel's exterior facade. Designed to create a sense of intrigue and mystery, the wren is a nod to the award winning book Boy Swallows Universe, by local Brisbane based author Trent Dalton, whose story inspired Blends to create his larger than life artwork.

Set to spark curiosity amongst visitors and locals alike with its strong sense of character and community, the interiors of the hotel have also been inspired by the transformative stories, hidden artistic flair and eclectic characters that have shaped the Brisbane CBD. 

As a result, each of the 212 strikingly designed guest rooms pay homage to Brisbane's unexpected treasures through a mix of carefully curated artworks and textures and are furnished with a full range of modern appliances. 

At the hotel entrance guests are greeted by two giant red doors spanning 6 metres high that are inspired by the red fairy doors on Burnett Lane, inviting the curious to uncover the hidden gems inside. This includes a graffiti covered Tuk Nook coffee cart in the lobby, history inspired black and white murals at reception and a beautiful mural along the hotel corridors. 

The hotel's food and beverage concepts and outlets, including the signature restaurant Izakaya Publico, were designed in consultation with globally recognised consultant Shane Giles from Blue Salt. Izakaya Publico offers guests and locals an authentic Japanese dining experience using locally sourced seasonal produce across the menu which features signature grilled dishes such as Bonito Tataki and Kushiyaki Skewers.

For local beer, wine, and cocktail favourites with a sake twist, 1603 is the contemporary speakeasy inspired bar on level one that will become a firm favourite for anyone wanting to experience Brisbane's newest evening venue. 

To celebrate the opening of Hotel Indigo Brisbane City Centre, embark on a culinary journey and enjoy overnight accommodation in a contemporary room or suite, breakfast for two and a $100 credit per day for food and drink at Izakaya Publico or 1603 with prices starting from $470*.
