The curvaceous Saffire Hotel - the Jewel of Tasmania.

The exclusive new Spicers Balfour Hotel opens in Brisbane in May offering luxurious accommodation with magnificent views of Brisbane at reasonable prices.

This unique hotel at first glance looks like one of the large classic Queenslander homes, but it’s only when you step inside that you see the contemporary European twist that marks this hotel out from the rest.

With nine spacious rooms, a large dining room, library, secluded and private courtyard, verandah and roof top bar overlooking the city and Story Bridge you’ll feel like a celebrity on a budget! This hotel offers luxurious accommodation in unique settings. Each one of the rooms is decorated to the highest standards, yet each is different in its own quirky way.

Prices will also surprise the modest traveller, set as they are at a competitive £150 per night including a full breakfast. At that price this hotel stays one step ahead of the game and is bound to be a hit with travellers in Brisbane, so make sure your booking is nice and early!

Another luxury and classic hotel to open is the five-star hotel Saffire in Tasmania. Superbly located on the stunning Freycinet Peninsula this hotel offers everything the discerning visitor could wish for. A world-class day spa with gym will enable you to work up an appetite for the exquisitely prepared menu made from local fresh produce. Put a little of Tasmania’s fire in your belly with these gourmet delights prepared by top chef Hugh Whitehouse who is even willing to pass on some of his culinary secrets in private cooking classes for guests.

To ensure every guest’s privacy and to keep the hotel as personal as possible, a maximum number of just 40 guests is allowed – well this is a hotel that you’ll want to keep to yourself as much as possible! Each room boasts a magnificent ocean view and has their own designer bathrooms, private decks, separate lounge areas, king-size beds and state-of-the-art television and sound technology. Not that you’ll be spending much time in your room with all that Tasmania has to offer!
