Sometimes it’s worth considering your own backyard as a holiday destination… and by backyard, we mean, of course, our beautiful city… which might just be the perfect alternative for this year’s festive season break! So, here’s a few ideas that might get you excited for Christmas in the city.
Adina Apartment Hotel Brisbane is set in a beautiful 1920s heritage building… it opened its doors less than a year ago and is ready to welcome guests for the season when Santa Clause comes to town.
So, if you’re looking to treat yourself and your loved one… Adina are offering couples the ‘city stay’ package:
- 15% off the best available rate
- Bottle of wine on arrival
- Extra late check out to 1pm
Book here using the promo code ‘CITY STAY’. Offer is available to book from November 1 – December 1, 2020.
As for dining out with your dearest, take the stairs down at Adina and you’ll find the city’s coolest basement bar. The popular Boom Boom Room has been recently reimagined as ‘Izakaya’… the newest of its kind to hit the town and will have you instantly transported to the streets of Japan.
But if you’re keen to bring the whole family on a festive city getaway, The Pullman, on King George Square, will be open Christmas day! Not only can you book into one of their Christmas lunch or dinners at the Goldfinch Restaurant, but their deluxe twin and king rooms have more than enough space to accommodate everyone for a comfortable stay! The rooms are available from $199 per room per night and include two hot breakfasts, parking, plus kids under twelve eat free! This offer is valid until January 31, 2020.
Keeping with the theme of new, wander a few blocks and you can treat the tribe to amazing Asian cuisine at the newly opened Naga Thai, on Eagle Street Pier. Their exquisite menu will take you on a journey from Bangkok to the North of Thailand while using the freshest Australian seafood available.
