Spicers Balfour Hotel

“I enjoyed the warm hospitality on the phone prior to my stay and on- arrival. The room was comfortable and well equipped with amazing products (Leif products provided in the bathroom) which made me smile and the bathrobe was very pleasant. I will definitely return for another stay.”

“My partner and I are checking out today from a fabulous stay. I can’t recommend Spicers Balfour enough. It’s the perfect mix of art deco charm and modern luxury. Superb location to HSW, Eagle Street food precinct and the City, yet incredibly quiet and away from the hustle and bustle. Fabulous views to story bridge from the rooftop bar. Well appointed rooms with local offerings and a lovely complimentary (and delicious) treat from New Farm Confectionary. Beautiful linens on the bed. Our suite was large and made the stay so relaxing. Late checkout of 11am. Incredible botanical toiletries from Leif. In the room they seem to have thought of everything to make the stay feel more like home. The staff go above and beyond and are super friendly. The Balfour Restaurant was intimate and delicious (order the Wagyu ). There were lovely little nooks to lounge and enjoy a glass of red. We will definitely be back to stay whenever we visit Brisbane. Highly recommend.”

“I had an exceptional stay at Spicers Balfour Hotel. The hotel has a beautiful boutique style, with a calm, elegant atmosphere and a blend of classic and modern design. The room was cozy, well designed, and very comfortable, with high-quality bedding that ensured a great night’s sleep. Breakfast was excellent and beautifully presented, and the service throughout was warm and attentive. Located in New Farm, it feels peaceful and private while still being close to the city. Overall, a luxurious and relaxing experience. Highly recommended for a quiet, high-end getaway.”

“My friend and I (two single females) recently had a wonderful visit for two nights. It was the best hotel experience I've had in Australia. We were surprised and delighted to find that we had been kindly upgraded to a suite, which was luxurious, roomy and absolutely beautifully decorated. We were able to park on site which made everything easier, and were promptly helped with our luggage. The included a la carte breakfasts were very generous, and excellent for choice and quality. All staff were very helpful, pleasant and efficient, and we were offered a late check, out which we appreciated. Thank you for a special and wonderful stay, it was an absolute treat.”

“We had a romantic and relaxing city escape at Spicers Balfour. We stayed in a suite in the Simla Building, just a short stroll from the main hotel and would highly recommend the suite! It was quiet and had a nice bath and a lovely outdoor courtyard. We also had a beautiful view of the Story Bridge. Parking was included which was another plus. The all inclusive breakfast on the Spicers verandah was also a highlight. The staff were kind and attentive during our stay. We can’t wait to come back!”

“We had an absolutely exceptional stay at Spicers Balfour over the weekend. From the moment we arrived, the experience felt genuinely special — the team’s warmth, effortless professionalism, and impeccable attention to detail immediately set the tone. The property itself is simply stunning, offering a beautiful blend of charm, style, and comfort. After an event in the city, it was the perfect haven to return to — peaceful, elegant, and wonderfully inviting. It truly felt like a home away from home. The food was nothing short of magnificent. Every dish was thoughtfully presented and full of flavour, clearly reflecting the care and quality behind the entire dining experience. It was undoubtedly a highlight of our stay. What truly elevates Spicers Balfour, however, is the hospitality. The team create an atmosphere that feels genuinely personal and relaxed, making you feel both completely at ease and sincerely valued as a guest. An unforgettable stay in every sense — we are already looking forward to our next visit.”
