About The Inchcolm
Over a century young, this Neo-Georgian belle shines with original charm and historical character, as if to say, take a leaf out of my book: stay true to yourself, an original is worth more than a copy. It’s no wonder, really, that this heritage-listed hotel remains a much-loved Brisbane landmark. Home to 50 generous guest rooms, each dressed in their traditional best, complete with modern amenities and city views; places to politely excuse yourself to for rest and restoration.
