The Smart Travel Guide

The Accor Network will open a new hotel at The Novotel Brisbane Airport, the 23rd in Australia. This is currently under construction and due to be completed by October 2009.

It will be the second Novotel in Brisbane, the first opened in 1995 in Creek Street in the heart of the central business district. The 156 room Novotel is being developed by Kenlynn Properties Australia and is being built on an 8000sqm block of land at 1 Airport Drive. There are over 40 Novotels at major airports around the globe.

The special design of the hotel includes a six storey atrium and a dramatic, glass-ended, cantilevered rooftop pool and recreation space.

The Novotel will be part of a relatively new retail, commercial and recreational precinct that will also comprise a DFO super-store, childcare centre, Woolworths supermarket and a golf course. In addition to its convenient address,

the new Novotel hotel will also feature also relaxing conveniences like a roof top terrace, gymnasium, lap pool and sauna, a lobby bar, a la carte restaurant, underground parking and six meeting rooms to service the needs of corporate clients in transit.

Accor Vice President Australia, Simon McGrath said, “Brisbane Airport is much more than just an airport, it is one of Brisbane’s fastest growing commercial areas and the gateway to the Gold Coast and south-east Queensland. Brisbane Airport currently handles some 18.5 million passengers annually – a growth of 50% since 2003 – and is forecast to grow to 33.3 million by 2029, making new infrastructure such as the Novotel crucial.”
