Queensland's First Kimpton Hotel Is Opening in Brisbane with a Stunning Infinity Pool Overlooking the River

Does your dream hotel include luxe rooms and suites, spectacular vistas, a pool with a killer view, a bustling onsite restaurant and bar, and a spot to get sipping outdoors? If so, you'll want to add the first-ever Kimpton Hotel in Brisbane — and Queensland — to your must-stay list.

The hotel chain is launching a second Australian site to sit alongside the existing Kimpton Margot Sydney, with Teneriffe in the River City its destination. Set to open in 2028, the Skyring Terrace spot will feature 155 places to slumber, an infinity pool overlooking the Brisbane River, a signature eatery and watering hole that can seat at least 200, and an openair garden terrace bar.

Brisbane's Kimpton Hotel will be a partnership between IHG Hotels & Resorts and property developer Kokoda Property, the latter of which is behind the $1.5-billion overall development in the Queensland capital's inner north. Locals will find the spot to stay amid residential apartments, warehouse-style lofts, shops, dining, co-working spaces and a community centre. Brisbanites will also score a lavish staycation go-to, and tourists a new accommodation option.

The Kimpton's rooms will push design to the fore, although what that'll entail in its decor hasn't yet been revealed. Think: fancy, though; there'll even be a marquee suite for celebrities and VIPs.

Think: views as well, with both the water and the Brisbane city skyline providing a backdrop. Eating at the restaurant and drinking at the bar will mean sky-high vantages, too, with both located on the 14th level. And as for the pool, swimming in it will mean looking out over the water while you're in the water.

In addition, patrons can expect waterfront access from the hotel, an onsite spa and a fitness centre, plus meeting and event spaces spanning 618 square metres. Just don't go planning that stay yet — construction is set to start in 2025.

"The Kimpton brand was the ideal choice for, and will be the centrepiece of, our striking Teneriffe development. The brand's lifestyle centric positioning, design and playful guest experiences will fit perfectly into this exciting and unique pocket of Brisbane," said Kokoda Property Founder and Managing Director Mark Stevens.

"We're excited to play a part in the transformation of the historic suburb of Teneriffe from its industrial origins into one of the trendiest suburbs of Brisbane. It's a popular year-round hub for fitness, and is set to get even better with Skyring Terrace to connect Brisbane's famed riverwalk between Teneriffe and New Farm and become the cultural heartbeat of the lively area."
