Primely positioned in the heart of Brisbane’s CBD on Elizabeth Street within the luxury shopping precinct of Elizabeth Street Mall, the 319-room hotel will provide guests a new era of cultural discovery within the city through all-new guest programming and service excellence.
InterContinental Brisbane’s General Manager, Shaun Parsons, said: “We are incredibly proud to now have a footprint in one of Australia’s most dynamic and fast-growing cities and are excited to welcome our first guests through our doors today. To be part of Brisbane’s transformation ahead of the 2032 Olympics and Paralympics is a privilege, particularly in helping to shape its tourism and hospitality scene by offering an exciting, culturally rich stay experience for local and international guests alike.”
The hotel will undergo a significant two-year transformation in 2026, elevating the luxury guest experience embracing innovation, diversity, and cultural discovery, while honouring the building’s architectural heritage designed by visionary modernist architect Harry Seidler.
