Sounds like a good news/bad news to me. Brisbane - good news. W - bad news.

Hmm, the Brisbane Bluegrass festival is on my list of things to see, so maybe I'll make it there some day. Of course, I've been telling myself I'm going to Australia for a couple of decades now .... tls

Considering Australia was the first country outside of the US to get a W, it's nice to see the brand return after a ten year absence.
Interestingly Starwood's booking engine has an opening date of just before Christmas this year, while the Westin is due to open October next year, both hotels visually appear to be at the same stage of construction, although I am no expert on the matter!

W Road Trip l W Brisbane
Pack your bags, we’re setting off on a great Aussie road trip along Australia’s East Coast in a custom designed glam W Pineapple Caravan, inspired by Queensland’s iconic tourist destination: The Big Pineapple, and Australia’s love affair with the great outdoors.
The four metre high structure will feature fully equipped DJ decks, with a line-up of up and coming Australian DJ’s performing at locations on route.
Thursday 31 May, the W Pineapple Caravan will kick-start the adventure at Brisbane’s Queen Street Mall, providing fresh tunes from midday onwards to pump up the afternoon ahead. It will then make its way through the Gold Coast, Byron Bay and Melbourne before finishing its voyage in Sydney.
Revellers along the W Pineapple Caravan journey will have the chance to win the ‘Golden Ticket’ to W Brisbane’s Premiere Party in September, including return flights from their nearest Australian capital city and their own lux suite for the night at the hotel (with BFF in tow of course) complete with their own celeb tour rider. To take a punt, a snap alongside the W Pineapple Caravan at any of the road trip locations and 20 words or less on why they should win this VIP W experience needs to be uploaded with the tags #WBrisbane #WRoadTrip (Full official competition details - @w_brisbane on Instagram or @whotelbrisbane on Facebook. *Terms and conditions apply).

It should be noted that the W shares the block with another building still under construction and its likely to be around twelve months before the noise levels drop.
