Brisbane Marriot
Hotel - 515 Queen St.
107metres, 32 storeys. Completed in 1998. Designed
by Forward Architects.
The $65 million dollar Marriot Hotel has added a new dimension to
the city's skyline. The modern copper dome mirrors the nearby Customs
House. It houses the lift and air-conditioning plant for the
267-room 5-star hotel. This building offers an aesthetic solution
of housing the jumble of plant and equipment needed on high-rise roofs.
Very New York in decor, it is quite an opulent hotel. Better than
your $5 a night van at Pottsville Caravan Park.
