Novotel Brisbane's $12 million dollar refurbishment

Novotel Brisbane is sparkling in the face of a $12 million dollar refurbishment and rejuvenation befitting Brisbane's most popular hotel.

Just a short stroll from the CBD, the 296 room Novotel Brisbane combines comprehensive facilities for both business and leisure guests with a superior comfort and elegance expected of a 4.5 star property.

Upholding the Novotel brand's fundamental values of modernity, good design, simplicity and efficiency, the refurbishment has resulted in a fresh, contemporary new hotel to mark a new era for one of Brisbane's most popular city hotels.

The rejuvenation has seen the introduction of a new top floor prestige room type, refurbishment of all 296 guest rooms, the Lobby & Bar and a complete makeover of the hotel's restaurant.

Novotel Brisbane's new Premier Room, a sophisticated and modern hotel room situated on the fourteenth floor, delivers on this promise and offers guests the ultimate in inner-city accommodation.

Boasting superior features to make the modern day guest feel at home, the Premier Room is superbly fitted with a state-of-the-art Nespresso Coffee Machine, iPod docking station, 32 inch LCD TV and offers spectacular floor-to-ceiling glass walls that open onto a private balcony with Brisbane City views.

The details are not lost for business travellers either; all Premier Rooms possess unique executive features including free internet, local telephone calls and ample desk space. For all guests, overnight accommodation in a Premier Room includes bottled mineral water, and a complimentary bathrobe and slippers for a true sense of comfort.

Novotel Brisbane's Premier Room marries contemporary and modern decor with a sense of ease and comfort, designed to enhance the hotel's relaxed ambience and style evident in the renovated lobby and bar.

The emphasis of the bar and lobby is on simplicity with white the predominant colour using white reconstructed stone, glass, hula lights, tiles and custom designed carpets and furniture to create a cool, crisp mood. A stunning floor to ceiling shimmering backdrop behind the reception desk has created a fresh stage for the arrival of guests and visitors while vivid red Italian designer chairs and lounges add a striking feature and bold retro twist.

The bar offers both indoor alcoves and outdoor terrace seating and now offers a selection of share plates, light meals, cocktails and wide range of Australian and imported wines and beer.

A complete makeover of the restaurant which offers an innovative new menu in a casual atmosphere, has resulted in a surprising new culinary experience for in-house guests.

Upgrades to the restaurant which has a capacity for 120 guests include a new buffet breakfast area as well as new furnishings, artwork, lighting, carpet, tiling and an ambience rarely found in hotel restaurants.

Other facilities of the property include Barastor Café, secure undercover parking, a large lap pool, sun deck, pool, sauna and gymnasium.

The hotel is convenient to the Roma Street bus and rail Transit Centre, City Cat Ferry terminals and an abundance of restaurants and bars.
