Amora Brisbane, a new five-star property is now open following a US$20 million refurbishment.
Located in Brisbane’s CBD district, the 296-key hotel’s opening makes a timely debut in a city that has its global events and MICE calendar looking packed for the year, and the years to come, including the 2032 Brisbane Olympics.
Amora Brisbane features 11 refurbished conference and events spaces spanning 1,148sqm; an elevated outdoor pool and deck, a fitness studio and a sauna.
For dining, Dapl Restaurant offers modern Australian cuisine using locally sourced produce and ingredients, complemented by The Lobby Bar and Two Donkeys Café.
Accommodation types range in size from the Amora King and Amora Double Rooms to Premier Rooms and Executive Suites, with certain rooms offering private balconies overlooking the Brisbane cityscape.
The former Novotel Brisbane, this US$20 million transformation is the latest property opening by Thai-owned Amora Group, following the launch of Amora Beach Resort Phuket in December last year after a US$14 million refurbishment.
Amora Brisbane is the sixth hotel to join a portfolio of hotels and resorts in Australia and Thailand, with a pipeline of future openings across the Asia Pacific region.
“As a company, we are looking to cement our footprint as a five-star hospitality group in Australia and Thailand, and we will achieve that by expanding in key cities in Asia Pacific and in developing Southeast Asian destinations. Our goal is to have 12 hotels in the region within the next five years,” said Amora Brisbane owner and director Earp Siriphatrawan, the second-generation heir of Amora Group.
Other hotels and resorts in its portfolio are Amora Hotel Jamison Sydney and Amora Hotel Riverwalk Melbourne in Australia; and Amora Neoluxe Hotel Bangkok and Amora Hotel Chiang Mai in Thailand.
