“The design is clearly inspired by Brisbane itself, a nice touch, and the rooftop WET Deck seems like the place to be, offering both city views and crafted cocktails; the personalized service also sounds appealing for business or leisure. While some have noted noise issues and design quirks, the location near Central Station makes getting around easy. It's a stylish base for exploring the city's cultural heart.”
