Vincent
Industrial-luxe boutique with bold art-forward interiors. Think colour, texture, and personality — not beige. The lobby feels more like walking into a gallery than checking into a hotel, with the actual sandstone cliff wall as a backdrop.
Book Fiume rooftop bar well in advance — it fills up fast, especially on weekends
Why It Matters
The only hotel in Brisbane purpose-built around a single artist's work at this scale. The location — tucked under the Story Bridge, steps from Howard Smith Wharves — is genuinely the best riverside position in the city. Add the magnesium infinity rooftop pool and you have a very strong package.
Crystalbrook Vincent sits carved into the sandstone cliff face directly beneath Brisbane's Story Bridge, right on the Howard Smith Wharves precinct. It's a 166-room five-star hotel that puts a serious art collection front and centre — over 180 original artworks and 500 giclée prints by Vincent Fantauzzo, a four-time Archibald People's Choice Award winner, cover every corridor and guest room. The architecture reads as an abstract translation of the cliff face and river geometry, and the sustainability angle is genuine: 100% waste-free bathrooms, upcycled furnishings, no single-use plastics, and EarthCheck certification.
Where You'll Stay
9 room types available
Family Room
Configured for families with two king beds. Connecting rooms are also available. The location within the lively Howard Smith Wharves precinct suits older children better than toddlers. Baby cots available on request.
Two KingsNature Wall Room
The clever one. Instead of river views, these rooms face the illuminated sandstone cliff face covered in lush greenery — the same cliff the hotel is built into. It sounds like a consolation prize but guests consistently rave about it, especially at night when the wall lights up. Open-plan layout, contemporary sustainable interiors, and full Fantauzzo artwork treatment.
KingPromenade Master Room
Larger take on the Promenade category with the same wharves and Story Bridge outlook. More space to spread out, same energetic precinct vibe from the windows.
KingPromenade Room
Windows look out over the Howard Smith Wharves precinct with views up to the Story Bridge. You're in the thick of it — great energy, especially in the evenings when the wharves come alive. Contemporary interiors with Fantauzzo prints.
River Master Balcony Room
Same knockout river views as the River Master but with a private balcony — a rarity at this hotel. A dedicated lounge area inside makes it feel like a suite-lite. Slow mornings with river views on the balcony are the move here.
KingRiver Master Room
Spectacular river views come standard here, framing the Brisbane River and Howard Smith Wharves below. The Crystalbrook Dream Great king bed is the centrepiece. Deep rest with a dramatic outlook. Everything needed to stay comfortable and connected, and guests rate this the standout room category.
KingRiver Room
Positioned higher up for spectacular views of the Brisbane River, Story Bridge, and the city skyline. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame Brisbane at its best. The step up from Promenade if you want the river view without going full master.
Two Bedroom Luxe Suite
The hotel's top multi-room option for those who need separate sleeping quarters. Bold design statement, full amenity set, and the Fantauzzo artwork collection goes to eleven in these spaces. Suited for groups of friends or families who want room to breathe.
Two Bedroom River Luxe Suite
Top of the house. Two bedrooms with river views — the best combination of space and outlook in the building. Brisbane River and Story Bridge framed from the living area. For those who don't want to compromise.

On Property
How you'll actually spend your days.
Dutch Lekker Bicycles provided with every room stay. Great for reaching New Farm Park, Queen Street Mall, and the broader riverside precinct without relying on taxis or rideshare.
Three flexible meeting and event spaces with natural light and views of the Brisbane River and city skyline. Can host up to 200 guests. Used for corporate events, private dining, and celebrations. All have outdoor terraces.
The hotel's centrepiece and social hub. A magnesium infinity pool on the rooftop overlooking the Brisbane River and Story Bridge. Note: the pool is small and doubles as a pool bar open to non-guests, so it can get crowded on weekends. At night, with the city lights reflected in the water, it's genuinely spectacular.
Not operated by the hotel, but the Stay, Play + Climb package bundles a Story Bridge Day Climb with accommodation and dining. The climb is Brisbane's signature adventure activity — ascending to the summit of the historic bridge for 360-degree city views. Book through the hotel's package for convenience.
Over 180 original artworks and 500 giclée prints by acclaimed Australian artist Vincent Fantauzzo spread throughout the hotel — lobbies, corridors, and guest rooms. Fantauzzo is a four-time Archibald People's Choice Award winner known for portraits of A-listers and politicians as well as landscapes. The collection gives the hotel a gallery-quality art experience woven into daily life.
