Sage Hotel James St opens with a bang

SAGE HOTEL JAMES ST and the QUEENS ARMS JAMES ST CONFERENCE AND FUCNTION CENTRE  launched last week, with over 200 guests from the travel, corporate and hospitality sectors of South East Queensland.

Guests enjoyed drinks and canapes whilst viewing hotel rooms facing the city lights while actors staged real life installations sitting in bubble baths, dining at tables and enjoying hotel rooms.

Sofie Formica emceed the event and celebrity DJ Jonathan Ford entertained the crowd who moved through the hotel enjoying signature cocktails and a giant dessert buffet.

Perfectly located in the lifestyle precinct of James Street with its cafes, first class retail and art galleries, Sage Hotel James Street is nestled beside the historic Queens Arms Hotel and a stone’s throw from the city centre.

Set over four levels, the property is immaculately presented, seamlessly combining the traditional elements of the Queens Arms with modern hotel interiors consisting of 93 boutique hotel rooms cleverly designed to allow maximum leisure space and storage in each room.

In an industry first, the Sage Style room – a multi purpose and flexible space has been custom-made to suit fashion, art or creative showings- ideal for local, interstate or international labels to host small VIP events or one-on-one showings.

The hotel lobby features polished exposed aggregate concrete floors, split aged and recycled sand stock brick and a stunning light design – The Knot by designer Karim Rashid all combining to create a contemporary, semi-industrial look reflecting the repurposed warehouse design.

The art works throughout the hotel show the details of a tortoise shell and are inspired by the Aboriginal name Binikinba-Ba which means “Place of the Land Tortoises” .
