One of them, attached to the international terminal, is being positioned as a mid to upper-level property, while the other, in its Skygate retail and entertainment precinct, is being touted as a select service, mid-level hotel.
The hotel at the international terminal will be a first for the airport.
Proposals for management of the new hotels are being sought from experienced hotel operators, with JLL Hotels and Hospitality overseeing the proposal process. Submissions must be made by May 15.
“Brisbane Airport’s three current airport hotels are consistently at capacity, so there is no doubt there is demand for additional hotel rooms,” said Brisbane Airport’s executive general manager of commercial, Scott Norris.
“Long-term, Brisbane requires thousands of new hotel rooms ahead of the 2032 Olympics and so we’re highly confident the airport can support five hotels.
“With Brisbane Airport a hub, every night there are hundreds of people transiting through Brisbane Airport before making connections across the state or around the world.
“Brisbane Airport links to more domestic destinations than anywhere else in Australia allowing operators to tap into built-in, year-round demand that provides long-term value.”
In 2025, 25 million domestic and international travellers passed through Brisbane Airport, making it the busiest year to date.
