AccorHotels has confirmed the completion of its first new-build Ibis Styles hotel in Australia which will also be the largest Ibis branded hotel in Australasia.

The 368-room Ibis Styles Brisbane Elizabeth Street, a collaboration with London AIM listed hotel owner and developer Action Hotels, is scheduled to open by the end of the first quarter of 2016 and is expected to become the flagship property for the brand in the region.

Mat Finch, currently general manager at Quay West Brisbane, has been appointed as general manager for the new property.

“We are excited to be part of this key development for Brisbane’s hotel sector in partnership with Action Hotels, and we congratulate them on reaching completion of the hotel build,” AccorHotels Pacific chief operating officer Simon McGrath said.

“The Ibis Styles brand has kept up with the changing expectations of consumers through design-led affordable quality hotels in the economy space and AccorHotels will continue to expand the ibis Styles portfolio.”
