"Opened in December 2021, the hotel in Fortitude Valley, Brisbane had the hallmarks of a modern boutique: sleek, minimalist décor with pops of color, a rooftop bar serving creative, Spanish-influenced gin and tonics, and a guest app recommending nearby shops (including a chic menswear store a block away). It distinguishes itself most notably through the Youth Xcellence Program, an initiative for high school students pursuing hospitality: Hotel X has hosted 15 students for full-day immersions, advanced some into paid work experience in human resources, sales, and marketing, and plans a third phase of in-depth, paid vocational training conducted on site. The property is part of IHG’s Vignette Collection, which aims to blend responsibility, community, and locality for the next generation of luxury travelers." - Chadner Navarro Chadner Navarro Chadner Navarro is a writer and editor who specializes in travel, food, design, and culture.
