W Brisbane’s New Listening Lounge Is the Most Interesting Room in the City Right Now
Phillipe Blake—6 June 2026·3 min read
Three dates. Twenty spots. A rooftop venue, a sound healer, and a Tarot-inspired drinks menu. W Brisbane's Celestial Celebration series is winter done properly.
W Brisbane has launched its ‘Celestial Celebration’ series at the WET Deck rooftop — an intimate full moon sound healing experience running across three evenings this winter as part of the Marriott Winter After Dark programme.
Each session is led by Olga from Light Castle, a Brisbane-based sound healer whose immersive sound baths have built a devoted following across the city. The one-hour journey takes place indoors in a beautifully curated space complete with luxury mats, blankets, pillows and hot water bottles. As the session unfolds, AWAY Spa therapists roam the room offering pressure point massage — layering touch and sound into something genuinely restorative.
With only 20 spots per session, it’s intimate by design.
The experience is part of Marriott’s Winter After Dark programme — a series of events built around making the most of the longer nights of the season.
After the session, guests move to the WET Deck rooftop bar where the Tarot-inspired adaptogen menu takes over. Built around wellness ingredients — lavender, sage, lemon myrtle, chamomile — the menu is primarily non-alcoholic, though cocktails and optional LaGaia tinctures are available for those wanting to deepen the wellness benefits. The hero drink, Temperance, is the signature pour from the winter list.
