The Calile Hotel | Fortitude Valley
Arguably *the most* grammable place in Bris RN, The Calile Hotel is a treat for the eyes and the soul. Book a room overlooking the pool and enjoy the view of sun-bathers enjoying a cocktail poolside on one of the hotel's aesthetically pleasing loungers. Inside, the rooms are decorated with marble in tones of pink and green, with touches of gold (drool, drool, drool) – a very luxe experience. After whiling the day away in a cabana, make your way to Hellenika for date night and set the romance wheel in motion.
