Hyatt Brisbane aims to be best in class
One of the world’s greatest hotel brands, Hyatt Regency, has opened its first Brisbane hotel in the heart of the CBD.
Hyatt Hotels Corporation has secured the lease at 72 Queen Street for the 26-storey building, which was previously the 4.5-star NEXT Hotel.
A refurbishment of the Hyatt Regency Brisbane will see enhancements to the 292 guestrooms, public areas, event spaces and dining venues.
This project is the first between Hyatt and the building’s owner Salter Brothers.
David Udell, group president, Asia-Pacific, Hyatt said, “We are grateful to work with Salter Brothers on the first Hyatt hotel in Brisbane and look forward to bringing the premium service and energising experiences that the Hyatt Regency brand is known for to this vibrant city.
“Hyatt has had a brand presence in Australia for more than 30 years. With Brisbane being one of the fastest growing cities in Australia, Hyatt Regency Brisbane is a strategic addition to our growing portfolio in the country, complementing our current and future hotels in key destinations such as Sydney and Melbourne.”
Salter Brothers managing director Paul Salter said, “With our commitment to a new investment in this hotel, its excellent location, well-appointed guest rooms, atmospheric pool terrace with an infinity pool, and Hyatt’s renowned restaurant and bar offerings, we fully expect Hyatt Regency Brisbane on the Queen Street Mall to be the city’s hotel destination of choice for both business and leisure travellers alike.”
Salter Brothers say they are excited to be working with Hyatt as it looks to ensure the Hyatt Regency Brisbane becomes the best premium upscale hotel in the Brisbane market.
