MOTELS FORTITUDE VALLEY

Opened in in 2008 by Damian Griffiths, Limes hotel is the building block for a precinct he has crafted centered around Alfred and Constance streets in the Fortitude Valley neighborhood of Brisbane. Drawing influences from around the world, Damian brought a unique, first of it's kind style and elegance to the capital of Queensland.

Steps from your room you can enjoy the wood-fired grilling at the Vanguard Beer Garden at Alfred and Constance or enjoy a strong tropical libation at White Lightning, A & C's Tiki bar upstairs. Around the corner on Alfred street you can find our Naples by way of Brooklyn Pizzeria, Alfredo's, open Late-night every night, and next door the newest edition to the empire, Kwan Brother's, serving asian street food inspired by the night markets of Hong Kong and the izakayas of Tokyo.
