Powered by AI
The W Brisbane impresses with its modern and chic decor, especially around the pool area. Guests often mention the superb location, highlighting its proximity to the South Bank precinct and easy access to attractions like the Sky Casino complex and the Kitty Kat free ferry. The a la carte breakfast at The Lex is a popular choice, though some have noted occasional minor issues with room maintenance or the overall dark aesthetic of the W decor. Many also enjoyed the great city river views from their rooms and the convenience of electric curtains.
