Swiss-Belhotel Brisbane Marks Six-Month Milestone

Swiss-Belhotel Brisbane has successfully reached its six-month milestone, affirming its position as a key player in the city’s upscale hotel segment. Since opening in December 2024, the property has demonstrated robust performance and consistent guest satisfaction, reflecting Brisbane’s strong market fundamentals and the group’s strategic positioning in Australia.


Located in the vibrant inner-city suburb of Woolloongabba, adjacent to the iconic Gabba Stadium, Swiss-Belhotel Brisbane features 110 contemporary rooms and suites designed for both short and extended stays. Each room includes a kitchenette with refrigerator and microwave. The hotel also offers pet-friendly accommodation, addressing a growing trend in domestic travel preferences.


Swiss-Kitchen™ Rooftop Restaurant & Bar, located on Level 12, provides guests with panoramic views of the Brisbane skyline and Gabba Stadium. The rooftop venue serves a variety of breakfast, daytime, and evening options, while leisure facilities including an open-air plunge pool and a fully equipped fitness centre.

Strategically situated near South Bank and just minutes from the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre, the hotel is well-positioned to cater to both leisure and corporate travellers.
