Qbic is the result of a lot of thinking, debating and sketching of what a city hotel could be; one that breaks the rules and makes people smile.An astonishing level of change has swept through the world over the last few years. But the hotel experience is no different than it’s ever been: stuffy, over-priced and lacking soul. They’re here tochange all that. they’re curious, imaginative and friendly, and they think there are lots of people just like us seeking a hotel with personality in the middle of the city.They believe in something better than what’s currently out there. A place that celebrates life rather than sucks life out of it. A hotel that’s built on creativity and a belief that you don’t have to accept the conventional. Somewhere that sends you away with fun stories and ideas, and is easy on your pocket.
