Acclaimed Melbourne-based artist Vincent Fantauzzo is the muse at this on-point boutique hotel, part of the Howard Smith Wharves waterfront redevelopment. His works, which include portraits of famous Australians, create visual intrigue throughout the 166-room property. Smart, modernist-inspired rooms feature emerald-green velvet sofas, heavenly beds and art tomes; opt for a river-view room to avoid looking straight at a cliff face.
Property perks include a heated rooftop infinity pool looking out at the Brisbane River and a small but well-equipped gym. On-site parking costs $35 per night ($45 for valet parking).
