The Calile Hotel
Voted 2023’s Best Hotel in Oceania and 12th Best Hotel in the World

This internationally admired luxury resort in Brisbane sits top of the list for a reason – it has set the standard for sleek, modern design. Inspired by architecture in Miami, Palm Springs, Rio De Janeiro and Mexico City, with a nod to Australia’s 1960s motels, the Calile Hotel offers a modernist take on relaxed, barefoot and coastal luxury. Open air corridors and floor-to-ceiling windows embrace the Queensland sunshine, while the turquoise pool and abundance of tropical plants makes you forget you’re in the heart of a city.

Each guest room features Calais Cream cork tiles on the floor and walls.  These tiles were specifically chosen to complement the hotel’s sophisticated décor and to feel good under bare feet. The tiles’ unique patterns and textures add a touch of individuality to each room, creating a welcoming and luxurious atmosphere. The hotel’s many acclaims and awards are a testament to its design vision, and the successful use of cork tiles in a high-end setting.

The Ardo
Townsville’s first 5-Star hotel

Boasting premium accommodation, a luxury day spa and a rooftop pool and bar with breathtaking panoramic views of the sea, the Ardo celebrates the beauty and essence of tropical North Queensland. The recently opened hotel was meticulously designed to reflect the sundrenched and laid-back coastal atmosphere, redefining tropical luxury.

Guest rooms are light and airy, catching ocean breezes for the ultimate relaxed tropical holiday. Each room features Calais Cream cork tiles on the floor and walls.  Quiet and comfortable underfoot, the cork tiles contribute to a tranquil atmosphere, while the warm, creamy tones of the tiles enhance the hotel’s intimate yet refined ambiance.

Chosen for its aesthetic appeal and practicality, Calais Cream cork tiles are found in the living and dining rooms, kitchen, hallways and some bedrooms and walls.  The natural texture and warm hue of the cork creates a bright and fresh atmosphere making the home feel both expansive and inviting.
