InterContinental Brisbane will open early June following the signing of a long-term management agreement with ISPT, a leading property funds manager and developer of the150 Elizabeth Street precinct where the Hotel is located. The property will be converted from the former Hilton Brisbane and become a proud member of the world's first and largest luxury hotel brand.
Primely positioned in Brisbane's CBD on Elizabeth Street, and connected to the bustling Queen Street Mall, it is the only hotel in Australia designed by the renowned Harry Seidler, who is widely recognised for his Modernist architectural legacy. ISPT's renewed vision for this precinct integrates the hotel, Wintergarden and the Regent Theatre into one destination seamlessly blending retail, dining, entertainment and hospitality into a dynamic urban setting.
InterContinental Brisbane will undergo a two-year transformation to elevate its luxury experience through brand hallmarks that embrace innovation, diversity and cultural discovery while retaining the features from Harry Seidler's original designs that make the hotel iconic. Once complete, it will feature 321 beautifully appointed guest rooms, many with stunning views across the Brisbane skyline. The hotel will also boast four unrivalled restaurants and bars and showcase expansive conference and events facilities.
InterContinental Brisbane will open as the third InterContinental property in Queensland, joining InterContinental Hayman Great Barrier Reef and InterContinental Sanctuary Cove Resort. It expands IHG's fast-growing luxury & lifestyle portfolio and reinforces its focus on growing its presence in the region. In Australasia, IHG currently operates 21 hotels within its luxury & lifestyle segment, with five properties in the pipeline, spanning its InterContinental, Kimpton, Vignette Collection and Hotel Indigo brands.
IHG Hotels & Resorts has 69 hotels in Australasia operating under nine brands - Six Senses, InterContinental, Kimpton, Vignette Collection, Hotel Indigo, voco, Crowne Plaza, Holiday Inn and Holiday Inn Express, with another 26 properties in its development pipeline.
