Christine and Adie
Essence is a boutique property, offering a guest lounge with Garden terrace for all guests to enjoy. Our apartments are spacious with full kitchens in every apartment. We provide personalised service and are located within 10 minutes from the Brisbane Airports, walking distance to Westfield Chermside and 15 minutes from Brisbane City or Southbank. We have direct access from level 1 of our hotel to St. Vincent's Private Hospital and The Prince Charles Hospitals.
The management team have been at Essence since we opened in August 2011. We endeavour to build relationships with our return guests, assist guests who require medical assistance at either the Prince Charles Hospital or St Vincent's Private Hospitals, work with our airline partner, leisure, corporate's and government clients. We love hospitality and high level of guest services, striving to provide this daily to our inhouse guests.
You will often see people out and about and everyone always says hello. Located under 10kms from the Brisbane CBD, this suburb has become known a a mini-CBD itself. Home to Australia's largest Westfield Shopping Centre, there is plenty of entertainment at your doorstep with cinemas, shops and a dining precinct. Nundah is close by with plenty of restaurants and bars which is a good alternative and the locals love it! We are only a 15 minute drive to Sandgate for a beautiful stroll along the bay and great fish & chips.
