Radisson Hotel Group has signed Sixty-Five Hotel Brisbane, a member of Radisson Individuals, reinforcing its presence in Australia and marking the debut of the brand in Queensland with a well-positioned, fully renovated hotel in the heart of Brisbane’s CBD. Set to open in Q2 2026, the 59-room property will be a compact, design-led upscale hotel in one of the country’s most dynamic cities within Radisson Hotel Group’s development strategy ahead of the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Commenting on the signing, Sammy Singh, owner of Sixty-Five Hotel Brisbane, said: “This hotel is my little gem in central Brisbane, and my vision was to create a design-led property with a strong personality,” he said. “It has been an absolute pleasure working with both Radisson Hotel Group and Mandala Hotels & Resorts, and I am confident that their combined expertise, global reach and operational strength will deliver strong results.”
“Brisbane is a strategic priority for Radisson Hotel Group, and this signing reflects our focused approach to expanding in Tier 1 cities with assets that are well-located, commercially resilient and aligned with evolving guest expectations,” said Danilo Curcuruto, Director, Development, Australasia, Radisson Hotel Group. “Operated through a first-in-market collaboration with Mandala Hotels & Resorts, Sixty-Five Hotel Brisbane, a member of Radisson Individuals, is an exciting addition to our Australian portfolio. The full renovation, strong CBD positioning, and the flexibility of Radisson Individuals will allow us to deliver a distinctive stay experience while creating long-term value for our partners in a market with powerful growth drivers.”
Elena Martiniuc, Director Business Development at Mandala Hotels & Resorts added: “At Mandala Hotels & Resorts, our focus is on transforming underperforming or evolving assets into high-value, design-led, hotel experiences. We specialise in repositioning, rebranding, and operating diverse hotel portfolios with a strong emphasis on commercial performance and guest-centric design.
Our partnership with Radisson Hotel Group on this project marks an exciting step for us in the Australasian market. Together, we are reimagining this property into a refreshed, design-forward hotel that reflects the next chapter of its lifecycle. With the upcoming rebrand and operational transition, we are confident this asset will achieve strong performance outcomes and deliver an elevated experience for future guests.”
The hotel’s public areas will include a vibrant social and entertainment space on the lower ground level, complemented by dedicated workstations, creating an easy flow between work and downtime for corporate, government, and leisure guests.
Located in the centre of Brisbane’s CBD, the hotel sits within close proximity to major office districts and key commercial, retail, and entertainment precincts, supporting well-balanced demand throughout the year. With excellent connectivity, the property is just 16 km or a 20-minute drive from Brisbane Airport and approximately 450 metres from Roma Street Station, a major city transport hub with rail, bus, and future Cross River Rail access.
Brisbane is the commercial heart of Queensland and one of Australia’s fastest-growing capital city centres, serving a broader metro population of more than 2.5 million. The city is home to the headquarters and major offices of leading corporations, including Suncorp and Deloitte, as well as key government departments. With significant infrastructure and tourism investment accelerating ahead of the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games, Brisbane continues to attract growing volumes of domestic and international visitors, while maintaining strong year-round corporate and government travel fundamentals.
Housed in a five-storey building, the hotel will benefit from strong visibility and a prominent heritage façade, with frontage along Turbot Street, a key arterial road in Brisbane’s CBD. The combination of character, location, and upgraded design will position the hotel to capture demand across corporate, government, and leisure segments.
Radisson Individuals is Radisson Hotel Group’s conversion brand, designed for distinctive hotels that want to preserve their identity while gaining access to Radisson’s global distribution, commercial platforms, and operational support. Through this signing, Radisson Hotel Group continues to build momentum in Australasia with a quality-led pipeline that matches the needs of owners, investors, and guests in high-potential markets.
