The venue's business development manager, Julia Wardle, said excitement has been building in the Grey Street high-rise ever since. "They're all very excited about the weather. They're all very impressed with our beautiful sunny winter days," Ms Wardle said.Logistically, the hotel had to reserve around 60 rooms — not to mention special laundry and dietary requirements for the elite women's football team.
The Emporium Hotel's Julia Wardle with the new dessert and the venue's new Irish cocktail, both of which nod to the Women's World Cup. Meanwhile, Goodwin Park at Yeronga will become the training hub for Ireland, Brazil will train at the Moreton Bay Central Sports Complex, and the Matildas will be based at Queensland Sports and Athletics Centre.
