Planning a business trip to the Sunshine State? Visitors to Brisbane are about to be spoilt for hotel choices over the coming years, with several global brands and chains expanding their existing networks by opening their first Brisbane hotels.

Brisbane Airport will also play home to new Pullman and Ibis hotels, so whether you're heading into town or just stopping over at the airport, here’s what’s on the map for travellers to Brisbane over the next few years.

Nothing to report on that front airADL.
IHG currently has three properties in Queensland – two at Surfers Paradise and the Sanctuary Cove Resort, although none in Brisbane.
