Spicers Balfour Hotel

Salter Brothers Hospitality (Spicers Retreats)

Sitting in close conversation with the sights and sounds of an eclectic inner-city enclave, Spicers Balfour Hotel is a unique urban experience that simultaneously embraces its colourful past and confidently leans into the future. Proving indulgence and ethics can comfortably co-exist, this retreat takes an intelligent stance whilst providing guests the chance to savour the very best of a city on the move. Luxury is found at every turn, 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.

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

The theme continues in The Balfour Kitchen & Bar, where contemporary Australian cuisine takes centre stage. By day, the café offers relaxed breakfast and weekend brunches, while evenings transform the space into an intimate wine bar with share plates and curated wines. Dining at Balfour as much about the atmosphere as the food, offering a unique 'home away from home' experience in the heart of New Farm.
