Hotel Indigo

The luxury, boutique Hotel Indigo has launched its first Queensland hotel in Brisbane, beside the river at North Quay. 

Celebrating the unique characteristics of Brisbane, Hotel Indigo Brisbane City Centre brings the stories of its local neighbourhood to life through a myriad of unique art and design features, such as hand-painted artworks and murals created by Queensland artists including Blends, Bronte Naylor and Furzeillear.

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, like the graffiti covered Tuk Nook coffee cart in the lobby and two hand-painted murals by Furzeillear (Claire Matthews) in reception. 

The art story continues at reception where illuminated numbers positioned over a historical map of Brisbane pay homage to key legal cases that have occurred in Brisbane over the years. 

One of the hotel's 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 Brisbane based author Trent Dalton, whose story inspired Blends to create this larger than life artwork.

Each of the 212 strikingly designed guest rooms also 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.

Plus, guests can enjoy local beer, wine, and classic cocktails with a sake twist at 1603, a contemporary speakeasy-inspired Japanese bar on level one.
