Novotel Brisbane gets a new look lobby and bar



A fast tracked refurbishment program has seen Novotel Brisbane complete a $1 million renovation of the bar, terrace and lobby.

The emphasis of the new bar and lobby is on simplicity with white the predominant color using white reconstructed stone, glass, hula lights,  tiles and custom designed carpets and furniture to create a cool, crisp mood.  A stunning floor to ceiling shimmering backdrop behind the reception desk has created a fresh stage for the arrival of guests and visitors while vivid red Italian designer chairs and lounges add a striking feature and bold retro twist.

Specially designed feature lights have also been employed to achieve the desired mood while a connection has also been made with the hotel’s outside terrace areas through the use of white glazed fences and bamboo. 

Amber Bar offering both indoor alcoves and outdoor terrace seating now offers a selection of share plates, light meals, cocktails and wide range of Australian and imported wines  and beer.

Staff have already received a fashion makeover courtesy of renowned Australian designer Peter Morissey.

Other areas of the hotel earmarked for a refurbished during 2010 include Cilantros Restaurant and Terrace and EAT@Astor bar and café.

General Manager Amery Burleigh said she believed that with the Lobby and Bar refurbishment, the hotel is ideally placed to increase its market share as the financial climate improves.
