Tucked within the leafy streets of New Farm, Spicers Balfour Brisbane is a sanctuary of quiet sophistication.
The charm of this boutique hotel lies in its effortless blend of heritage character and modern comfort. Thoughtfully curated spaces invite moments of reflection, while the rooftop bar offers glimpses of the city skyline framed by the gentle sway of jacaranda trees.
A stay at Spicers Balfour Brisbane is an invitation to immerse in refined elegance, where every detail is considered, from the warm glow of ambient lighting to the soft touch of bespoke furnishings.
The hotel’s 17 luxury suites are split across two unique buildings. The nine executive rooms in the main Queenslander building have a distinctly European feel, and the eight one-bedroom suites in the art-deco Simla building are filled with richly embellished designs and a sleek aesthetic. All suites are light, bright and airy, with spacious and luxurious bathrooms, amenities and modern conveniences.
The theme continues in the hotel restaurant, The Balfour Kitchen & Bar, where contemporary Australian cuisine takes centre stage. By day, the café offers relaxed breakfast and weekend brunches, while evenings transform the space into an intimate wine bar with share plates and curated wines. Dining at Balfour is as much about the atmosphere as the food, offering a unique ‘home away from home’ experience in the heart of New Farm.
