Brisbane and Hobart represent Australia in the second World’s 50 Best Hotels list, announced overnight in London.
Two Australian hotels have been recognised in the coveted World’s 50 Best Hotels list by a global academy of well-travelled experts in the hotel and travel industry, with Brisbane’s brutalist-inspired urban resortThe Calile, operated by TFE Hotels, ranked No.25 this year, sliding down the rankings from No.
The Calile general manager Chris Kemlo, also in attendance, described the honour as a great win “for Brisbane and Australian tourism”.The 175-room luxury hotel, at the heart of the CBD James Street precinct, was designed by renowned architecture firm Richards and Spence, who combined 1950s design with elements of brutalism, resulting in a striking curvy white-brick facade, polished concrete interiors, and a mostly sun-bleached palette of opulent golds and soft sage, sandy, blue and pink hues.
The World’s 50 Best lists have been criticised for favouring European venues and demonstrating a lack of diversity, though measures have been taken to address some of these shortfalls, including mandating a 50/50 gender balance among jurors.
