 New hotel for Brisbane airport
Brisbane Airport will welcome its first guests to its first hotel in early 2009.
The four-star Quality Inn hotel, located at the Airport's Number 1 Airport Drive precinct, will house up to 120 rooms, a restaurant, conference facilities, wine bar, gymnasium and pool.
The announcement of the new airport hotel comes as the Number 1 Airport Drive precinct prepares for even more growth, including a $6 million expansion of the DFO retail outlet, a supermarket, café strip and golf course.
Brisbane is Australia's fastest-growing airport. With more hotels, offices, retail, health services, sports facilities and a range of other developments under way, the Brisbane Airport workforce is expected to grow to over 40,000 over the next 20 years.
In announcing plans for the hotel, Brisbane Airport Corporation Corporate Relations Manager Jim Carden said: "Number 1 Airport Drive is truly the heart of the booming Australia TradeCoast precinct, and is rapidly becoming the 'CBD' of Brisbane's Airport City, generating sustainable, long-term growth opportunities for Queensland's exciting aviation, tourism and related industries."
