Developers have struck agreements with IHG, Hilton and Accor to operate new hotels in Brisbane, Townsville and Launceston as occupancy rates rise.
Developers are banking on the tourism boom driving up demand for hotel accommodation over the long term, after signing deals with hotel giants Accor, IHG and Hilton to operate almost 500 new rooms in Brisbane, Townsville and Launceston before the end of the decade.
In Brisbane, local developer Kokoda Property will bring IHG’s Kimpton’s lifestyle brand to the riverside suburb of Tenerife as part of a $1.5 billion mixed-use development that will include apartments, warehouse-style lofts, co-working spaces and retail.Kokoda paid more than $100 million last year for the 17,612 square metre former industrial site at 17-27 Skyring Terrace and has submitted ambitious plans for 381 apartments across three towers.
Mr Stevens said the Tenerife site with 220 metres of water frontage and its own marina was a natural fit for a new lifestyle hotel.
