ISPT has confirmed that the property previously the Hilton Brisbane will become an InterContiental branded hotel. The new hotel, the InterContinental Brsibane will be opening in June.
The Hilton Brisbane has been operating at the property for 39 years, but recently closed. While this is a loss for Hilton Honors members, the change fills a gap in the Intercontinental footprint.
As the InterContental is more of a luxury brand than the Hilton, the property will undergo a two year transformation. These are aimed at elevating the luxury experience of the property. At the end of the transformation, the hotel will boast 321 guest rooms. In addition, it will feature four restaurants and bars, together with conference facilities.
In announcing the new hotel, Cameron Burke, Director of Development, Australasia & Pacific, IHG Hotels & Resorts said:
“We knew it would take a special property to bring our iconic InterContinental brand to life in Brisbane and are incredibly proud to partner with ISPT in support of the rejuvenation of this incredible asset and we look forward to creating an indelible beacon of hospitality for Brisbane.
“The Brisbane hotel market, and South East Queensland region, is entering a golden era fueled by transformative infrastructure projects, a booming tourism sector and the countdown to the 2032 Olympics. With record investment and a surge in both corporate and leisure demand, the region is fast becoming Australia’s most dynamic hospitality hotspot.”
InterContinental Brisbane will open as the third InterContinental property in Queensland, joining InterContinental Hayman Great Barrier Reef and InterContinental Sanctuary Cove Resort.
