The Alva Hotel

Located in the heart of Fortitude Valley, The Alva Hotel is a sleek, warm and inviting base for exploring one of Brisbane’s most vibrant neighbourhoods. It combines contemporary interiors, softened by lush greenery and plenty of natural touches.

The rooms continue that relaxed, modern feel, with beautiful natural light, wonderfully comfortable beds, Avazza coffee, Grown Alchemist amenities, complimentary Wi-Fi and a thoughtful design that feels both stylish and effortlessly comfortable.

Above the energy of Fortitude Valley, the rooftop pool offers a rare pause, with sweeping Brisbane skyline views and a relaxed setting framed by cabanas and poolside dining, making it equally appealing for a sunny afternoon or sunset dip.

The 24-hour gym is also well equipped, with cardio, strength and functional training equipment to keep up your routine while you’re away.

For drinks and dinner head to Iris Rooftop, where 360-degree views stretch across Brisbane’s skyline and the atmosphere shifts effortlessly from daytime dining to an evening destination for drinks, events and celebrations.

The Spanish-inspired menu brings together sharing plates and tapas, making it an ideal spot to settle in, order a few dishes and soak up the Valley from above.

Downstairs, Bisou Bisou is one of Brisbane’s much-loved French restaurants, which is open all day for breakfast, lunch, dinner and drinks. The avocado on toast is seriously moreish, while the coffee is prepared with obvious care and makes for the perfect start to a day exploring Fortitude Valley.

Overall, The Alva Hotel Brisbane strikes a lovely balance between polished design and the lively character of the Valley. With its light-filled rooms, rooftop pool, well-equipped gym and excellent dining options, it’s a stylish and convenient choice for discovering Brisbane with a little more comfort and character.
