From the moment you choose to stay with Hotel X you are quickly emerged into the hotel culture and could be forgiven for thinking of Hotel X as a companion during your stay, with welcoming invitations to “come and drink with me” and “join me on the rooftop” it’s hard not to want to check them out. Towering high in the sky in the beating heart of Brisbane, Brunswick Street Fortitude Valley, Hotel X’s white geometric façade boasts an Avant guard LED lighting system offering an insight into Hotel X’s eccentric, playfully artistic, luxuriously decadent, and wild personality.
Arriving at the lobby of Hotel X it’s an “X factor” feeling, guests are greeted with individual check-in pods and invited to an extraordinary cocktail of 24/7 stay and play. Join us for a night with X.
3PM
Indulge in your sophisticated room, you will notice all the extras are here ready to delight your senses, take a moment to breathe in the view of Brisbane’s cityscape from the privacy of your terrace or bask in the brilliance through the expansive floor-to-ceiling windows.
Make yourself a welcome drink from the boutique mini bar, or order from the 24/7 room service menu while you freshen up for the night ahead.
5PM
Sunset hits and Iris Rooftop Bar & Restaurant is calling. Aas you exit the elevator you are greeted by luxury, exposed stone, scarlet tones, leafy olive trees, and pops of gold instantly trick you into thinking you have stumbled into the Mediterranean coast. Brisbane’s superlative rooftop Iris is waiting to display views which are equally as impressive as the house cocktails. Let’s get the evening started with a vibe check (strawberry, pink grapefruit, Aperol, cardamon, pink pepper, and tequila).
7PM
As the city goes dark Hotel X boasts an impressive show of lights beaming from its exterior. On ground level Bisou Bisou (which means “kiss kiss” in French) a Parisian chic restaurant is ready to welcome you with flirtatious fare and a faultless dining experience. Choose to perch on a velvet stool at the aperitivo bar or slip into one of the booths in the main dining room. The menu brings a taste of Paris, reimagined for the balmy Queensland climate. You can’t go past the Pomme Aligot, a silky potato puree loaded up with so much melted alpine cheese. Xx (kiss kiss).
9PM
Take a stroll through the thoughtfully curated lobby (giving off high-end gallery vibes), where the feature lighting and colorful art of Brisbane-based photographer Justin Nicholas echo the vibrant nightlife and neighborhood that surround the hotel. Back in your suite, the bathroom is both incredibly luxurious and exceptionally well-appointed, treat yourself to luxurious amenities designed by the notorious Karl Lagerfeld. The egg-shaped tub invites you for a glass of bubbles, showing off panoramic views of the city. It is the perfect way to end an evening. Soak it in.
11PM
By now you should be well and truly in slumber, the King Bed provides a luxurious place to recuperate offering arguably one of the best night’s sleep in any hotel local or international, thanks in part to the extensive pillow menu. Rest comfortably knowing that any request night or day is only ever a tap away, with breakfast in bed, valet service, your favourite newspapers and magazines, and more all available through your own in-room tablet.
7AM
The electronic blinds glide open to fill the room with light, you need caffeine without caffeine, thankfully your very own Lavazza coffee machine is ready to brew the perfect cup. Now you’re awake it’s time to work out in Hotels X’s fully equipped gym (open 24/7). Not one to work out on your own? No problem…luckily for you personal trainers or classes at TotalFusion Newstead can be pre-booked through our concierge. Step out of the gym onto the rooftop tiled pool deck to be met with arguably the most spectacular view of Brisbane. Jump in for a dip, clock some laps or relax to the max on one of the stylish sun loungers….
9AM
Bonjour we meet again, cozy up at a café table in the charming sun-filled courtyard, hunger is setting in again…It wouldn’t be breakfast in a Parisian café without an expertly baked loaded croissant, tuck into the NEW FARM (Sliced avocado with labneh, zaatar, and Aleppo butter). It’s truly an escape from the hustle and bustle of Brunswick Street while only meters away Bisou Bisou has definitely shaped an experience that perfectly pairs with its sister bar on the rooftop and the incomparable 5-star Hotel X overhead.
11AM
It’s not goodbye it’s see you soon, you will be back. It would be hard to beat this incredibly luxe experience. From the wonderful warmth, the staff displayed to the truly decadent dining and the Karl Lagerfeld in-room amenities (pop them in your purse and consider them a parting gift).
What’s next? Stroll down to the Valley’s James Street, a key shopping precinct for independent, local and international designer flagship stores, and some of the best dining any time of day. Remember if walking’s not your thing, jump in Hotel X’s luxury Mercedes AMG SUV and let us transfer you somewhere, anywhere.
