Recently the Spencer
Travel team travelled to
Brisbane to familiarise themselves further with the Brisbane hotel scene. Here’s what Louise Brown, Operations Manager
at Spencer Travel thought of the properties they visited:
Ovolo Inchcolm
“I was very impressed with this hotel. It’s a
luxury boutique hotel on Wickham Terrace in the CBD. When you walk in, there is
a beautiful bar on the left which is also where you check in” says Louise.
The Spencer Team stayed in the loft rooms, very spacious
two-level suites. The lounge area is on the ground floor, with the bedroom and
bathroom situated on the first floor.
Salon de co, the hotel’s restaurant, is a small cosy space at the
back of the hotel. The team loved the food and the service was outstanding.
Overall Louise was very impressed with the Ovolo concept and would
highly recommend this property.
Next Brisbane
Next Brisbane is located on Queen
Street Mall. Burnett Lane – a laneway with cool bars and speakeasys – is right
behind the hotel.
“The Standard Queen and a King Deluxe rooms are well appointed,
but some look at little tired. The Deluxe King’s can be split into two twins
and some can interconnect”, says Louise
In every room there is a Samsung smartphone that controls all
appliances in the room. Guests can also take the phone with them and use the
WIFI or make local calls. All rooms are equipped with Smart TVs so guests can
watch their own Netflix. All rooms have safes with inbuilt power so guests can
charge their laptops or tablets when the safe is locked.
The hotel has a so-called Intransit Lounge – this is for early
arrivals or late departures. There are 4 sleep pods available and full shower
and bathroom facilities. There are also Tesla charging stations available and
guests can use one of their Tesla’s as a house car (paid service).
