Places to combine Spicers Balfour Hotel with

Brisbane
Designed to merge with Brisbane’s striking Story Bridge, this creation of unique architecture and art was inspired by the Australian painter, Vincent Fantauzzo. Spread across six stories, this exceptional hotel exudes creative inspiration around every corner, merging luxurious features with innovation.
With easy access to the city’s trendiest hub, The Fantauzzo features 166 stylishly designed suites, looking out across the river or the promenade. Contemporary furnishings complement muted colour schemes, enhanced by emerald and navy-blue velvet seating and bedding. Fantauzzo’s artwork adorns the walls of both the suites and the communal spaces, and guests can enjoy complimentary art tours with a resident art expert, and access to in-room art channels and libraries.
State-of-the-art facilities include a fully-equipped gym, while the rooftop pool and bar offer an enticing spot to take in the city vistas while making your way through the cocktail menu. The hotel’s restaurant, Polpetta, is an ode to all things authentically Italian in a most casual setting, allowing you to leisurely dine on Rome-inspired delights, paired with a Negroni or two. If you want to venture out into the city, bicycles, scooters, and branded Fiats are available.
