InterContinental Brisbane will open in early June following the signing of a long-term management agreement with ISPT, a leading property funds manager and developer of the 150 Elizabeth Street precinct where the hotel is located.

The property (below) will undergo a two-year transformation that will see the former Hilton Brisbane become a member of the world’s largest luxury hotel brand.

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.

Once complete, it will feature 321 rooms, many with views across the Brisbane skyline. The hotel will also boast four restaurants and bars and showcase expansive conference and events facilities.

“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,” said Cameron Burke, Director of Development, Australasia & Pacific, IHG Hotels & Resorts.

“The Brisbane hotel market, and South East Queensland region, is entering a golden era fuelled 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.

In Australasia, IHG currently operates 21 hotels within its luxury and lifestyle segment, with five properties in the pipeline, spanning its InterContinental, Kimpton, Vignette Collection and Hotel Indigo brands.
