Open to both hotel guests and the general public, Fiume sits perched atop Crystalbrook Vincent with the striking backdrop of lit-up cliffs and adjacent to the hotel's rooftop infinity pool, with a bird's eye view of the hustle and bustle of the Howard Smith Wharves below.

There can be few finer places in Brisbane to sit on the terrace with its cool patio furniture and succulent pot plants, sipping on a cocktail and taking in the vistas and cool river breezes.
