The Holiday Inn Express Brisbane Central will welcome its first guests from April.

Guests staying at the new property will enjoy complimentary high speed WiFi, free express start breakfast, a self-service business centre and access to a fitness centre.

Holiday Inn Express Brisbane Central Hotel manager Michael Foster said the debut of the property was  “an important part of the greater plan to drive Brisbane towards its 2025 goals”.

“We will offer not only a great accommodation option for visitors to the city, but also an attractive new meeting place for local businesses, and a new range of employment opportunities for the community,” he said.

Finishing touches are now being made to the property’s interiors and Great Room, which was designed to be a flexible space to be used for meetings, cocktail parties and networking sessions. A sunken lounge area with large windows will accommodate up to 60 for stand-up functions. In addition, a 14-seat, spacious boardroom will provide a stylish venue for meetings in the area.
