About Us

Sitting in close conversation with the sights and sounds of an eclectic inner-city enclave, Spicers Balfour Brisbane is a unique urban experience that simultaneously embraces its colourful past and confidently leans into the future.

Just moments from Spicers Balfour Brisbane, guests are immersed in one of the city’s most desirable lifestyle pockets, where New Farm’s leafy streets are alive with café culture, boutique shopping, neighbourhood bars, cinemas and galleries.

A short walk or drive opens up world‑class dining and fashion on James Street, the buzzing entertainment and dining scene at Howard Smith Wharves, and the vibrant nightlife of Fortitude Valley, placing Brisbane’s creative and cultural energy right at your doorstep.

For balance, the winding Brisbane River, riverside walks and nearby New Farm Park offers a quieter escape, creating a seamless blend of urban excitement and peaceful retreat.

Beyond the stately façade, interiors reveal an intimate world of contemporary design softened by rich textures and carefully selected artworks. From the sunset-filled rooftop bar to the leafy garden courtyards, from the thoughtful, modern suites to the crimson velvet chairs waiting invitingly in the library, charm is found at every turn.

Balfour’s 17 luxury suites are split across two unique buildings. The nine executive rooms in the main Queenslander building have a distinct 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.
