Minor Hotels makes major move in Australia

The global hospitality group has announced a significant expansion to its Australasian portfolio, writes JANIE MEDBURY.

RAISING the bar for urban tourism in Brisbane, Minor Hotels has signed the management letting rights for the landmark Queens Wharf Residences development from early 2025.

The 64-storey development will be the tallest tower within the new world-class precinct Queen’s Wharf Brisbane, which is set to become a major tourism, leisure and entertainment destination.

Featuring one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments with balconies and winter gardens equipped with lift-and-tilt windows, guests will have exclusive access to luxury amenities including a pool, spa, steam room, theatre, leisure lounge room and gym.

The new hotel will also offer direct access to the precinct’s unique entertainment options, world-class hotels and dining including Sokyo, Fat Noodle and Cherry, sky-high views from the Sky Deck, and an Event Centre to the river city.

“Highly sought-after, Queen’s Wharf Residences has become Queensland’s fastest selling development, offering more than just a place to stay, but an unprecedented benchmark in urban tourism for Brisbane,” said Lauren Sheldon, Head of Sales and Marketing Australia for property developer Far East Consortium.

“The scale of this project demanded a management partner with unmatched expertise to offer the premium management guests of Queen’s Wharf Residences will expect, and Minor Hotels’ extensive experience in property management across Australasia and beyond instils us with confidence that they are the ideal partner to deliver on this promise.”

Minor Hotels Australasia Chief Operating Officer, Craig Hooley, commented, “we are excited to add such a landmark Brisbane development to our portfolio, offering a product unlike anything the city has seen before with respect to size and scale, and proximity to Brisbane CBD’s most exciting dining and entertainment precinct”.

“Given our extensive experience managing over 550 properties globally, including 11 existing properties in Brisbane CBD, we are well-equipped to manage this pioneering development which further establishes Brisbane’s position on the world stage as a global destination for entertainment, leisure and tourism.”
