Restauranteur Jonathan Barthellmess has announced his latest venture, the Tokyo-inspired Yoko Dining, which is slated to open in November in Brisbane’s Howard Smith Wharves precinct. It’s anticipated to translate the energetic experience of Tokyo’s izakayas, music bars and pop-infused counter culture into a raucous split-level bistro on the river.

Art Series Hotels will open its eighth property at Howard Smith Wharves, Brisbane in March 2019. It will be the first new property for the Art Series brand since joining the AccorHotels family.
