SAGE HOTEL, BRISBANE, QUEENSLAND

- By Danielle Lancaster nexthotels.com

Welcome to the Sage Hotel James Street, a contempora­ry, new hotel situated in Fortitude Valley, Brisbane. Providing 93 guest rooms built around the iconic Queens Arms hotel, the Sage Hotel seamlessly combines the traditiona­l façade with modern hotel interiors. The hotel is situated close to Brisbane’s CBD, Chinatown and the city’s art precincts, parks and gardens. Take the short 3 km walk to New Farm Park, with beautiful gardens bordering the Brisbane River and the Powerhouse Museum, an arts centre on the eastern end of the park. Consider strolling in the opposite direction, and the same distance will take you through Chinatown to the city. The ferry system is an inexpensiv­e, efficient and fabulous way to explore Brisbane and you will find many ferry terminals along the way. Within a few blocks of the hotel, you can browse the boutique designer stores and fabulous eateries along James Street – Gerard’s Bistro, hidden down a laneway, is just one example.

The corner rooms on the fourth floor are the cream of the crop with views across planted terraces to the city and suburbs. With a DreamWeave SleepSyste­m mattress, 300-thread count linen and premium feather pillows, sleep should come easily. A 24-hour reception, valet parking, free gym and pool access, along with a compliment­ary city chauffeur in their very own Mercedes-Benz E-Class is supplied. Add to that, high-speed WiFi – no timers, no fees or limits on devices – a selection of movies plus an espresso machine all combine to form an excellent place to stay at one of the newest ‘kids on the block’ in Brisbane.
