“The Calile's party pool”

The Calile Hotel is a favorite Brisbane design hotel — wonderfully-designed large rooms, a laid-back lobby, a fantastic restaurant, a vibrant area of high-end shops and restaurants, and friendly patient staff. Caveats though: the pool has a totally different DJ-party vibe with sunrise queues for loungers and deafening holiday music, non-guests crowd the lobby, weekend precinct noise brought drunken yelling, and amenities were not refilled daily.
