Australia welcomes its first ’Design Hotel’ – The Limes Hotel in Brisbane, designed by Alexander Lotersztain.
The Limes Hotel officially opened in June, in Fortitude Valley, Brisbane, as the only hotel in the country to be a member of the German-based ’Design Hotels’ group.
Inspired by The Valley’s natural surroundings, the hotel has been designed by Queensland’s omnipresent design star, Alexander Lotersztain.
The result is a stunning 21-room urban retreat. The stunning front façade demands attention from the street, comparable to a rock-climbing wall, and the facilities include tapas bar, coffee shop, business facilities, open air roof-top bar and cinema.
Hotels in the esteemed ’Design Hotels’ group are all independently owned, but are united by a commitment to individuality and unique design.
