Spicers Balfour Hotel 
Fodor's![]()
The Telegraph
Mr & Mrs Smith
Fodor's "Fondly nicknamed "the Grand Lady," this elegant boutique hotel has nine suites housed inside a traditional Queenslander mansion, complete with flowing verandas, tropical gardens, and breezy river views; as well an additional eight, much larger "Balfour Suites," including a lounge and function room, in an adjacent art deco building"
"There is a slight snootiness to proceedings ('high tea' is taken in the restaurant): just drop the pretensions and enjoy the rooftop bar and hip neighbourhood"
The Telegraph "Make sure you squeeze in time for a sundowner in the rooftop bar; it serves free munchies after 5:30pm"
Mr & Mrs Smith "Next stop is the Bowery in neighbouring Fortitude Valley, a speakeasy-style bar that’s very Manhattan"
