The InterContinental website says stays now start at about $320 a night, with the most expensive suites in excess of $550. “We are incredibly proud to now have a footprint in one of Australia’s most dynamic and fast-growing cities,” manager Shaun Parsons said in a statement. “To be part of Brisbane’s transformation ahead of the 2032 Olympics and Paralympics is a privilege.” The hotel is earmarked for a complete restoration – expected to take about two years – from 2026 as part of a wider upgrade of the Wintergarden complex, which is overseen by ISPT.
