Swiss Belhotel International to return to Brisbane

Swiss-Belhotel International has announced its return to Brisbane, Australia with the signing of a management agreement of the new Swiss-Belhotel Brisbane.  

Scheduled to open its doors to guests by April 2023, the hotel is centrally located in Woolloongabba, directly across from the iconic Gabba Stadium, which hosts all major sporting events and is being redeveloped to serve as the centrepiece of the 2032 Olympic Games.

The Cross River Rail Station, which is due for completion in 2024, is located just opposite the property.

Mr Gavin M. Faull, Chairman and President of Swiss-Belhotel International said: “We are delighted to partner with ENZCORP Pty Ltd, and very excited to return to Brisbane with the new generation of Swiss-Belhotel Brisbane, which is one of our premium brands.

“The distinctive concept and quality of the product makes it a fantastic addition to not only our portfolio but to the city of Brisbane. We look forward to welcoming guests with a truly unique hospitality experience in this sought-after destination, once the hotel comes to life.”

Elaborating on Swiss-Belhotel International’s continued expansion in the region, Mr Faull said: “Oceania is one of our key growth markets and we are making great progress in the region with several properties under negotiation.

“This new signing is closely aligned with our vision of strengthening our presence in the ‘land of plenty’ as well as bolstering our global portfolio.”

Mr Patrick Laybutt, Vice President – Operations & Development, Australia and New Zealand, said the Group is proud to be returning to this spectacular destination.

“Swiss-Belhotel Brisbane is being developed as a best-in-class product with 103 luxuriously designed rooms, seven suites and two penthouses over 11 storeys.

“Catering to the diverse needs of both business and leisure guests the hotel is being equipped with all modern facilities to offer a work-life balance, including a superb rooftop bar and dining area, multi-functional conference space, energising gymnasium and sauna, and a relaxing rooftop swimming pool.”
