Fodor's Expert Review Crystalbrook Vincent
5 Boundary St., Brisbane, Queensland, 4000, Australia
Tucked under the Story Bridge amid the rejuvenated entertainment precinct at the Howard Smith Wharves, the five-star Crystalbrook Vincent (formerly the Fantauzzo) is both sophisticated and sustainable. With 500 prints by acclaimed Australian artist Vincent Fantauzzo lining the walls of its 166 rooms, there is a focus on art and design throughout. From the infinity-edge rooftop pool, to the breezy, high-ceilinged elegance of the Romanesque restaurant Polpetta expect elegance, refined lines, and a touch of glamour.
