Limes Hotel

Designed by Alexander Lotersztain, Limes Hotel is a thoroughly modern affair pretending to be nothing else. The 21 rooms are all different, with hand painted walls and quirky furnishings emphasising the idea that each room is a minor piece of art. All are comfortably sized with the usual tech trappings (ipod docks, satellite tv, Wifi, Nespresso coffeee machines) and a kitchenette. Head up to the happening rooftop bar for a cocktail and fantastic city views at sunset (here you’ll find two plunge pools amongst the seating area). The location right in the heart of Fortitude Valley, the city's lively entertainment, dining and nightlife district, is unbeatable. A great base for exploring Brisbane, both day and night, and undeniably good value for money.
