EVT Hotels and Resorts has commenced management of boutique Brisbane hotel, The Inchcolm, operating under its Independent Collection by EVT (ICbE), in an extension of the group’s partnership with Invictus Developments.

EVT’s Director of Hotel and Resorts Operations, Norman Arundel, announced the deal at the Asia Pacific Hotel Industry Conference and Exhibition (AHICE) on Thursday May 2.

“Now a three-hotel partnership under our management, the synergy between Invictus Developments’ investment ambitions in Australia and our operational expertise is continuing to flourish,” said Arundel.

“The Inchcolm, Brisbane is a charming, boutique hotel and a valued addition to the Independent Collection by EVT which continues to present hotel owners with a flexible model for any property type.” 

Invictus Developments has also previously partnered with EVT on the management of The Old Clare Hotel and Harbour Rocks Hotel.

Under EVT’s management, a revamped guest experience is planned for The Inchcolm, as well as an updated food and beverage offering.

“Our ambitions within the Australian hotel sector are significant, and partnerships are key to our success,” said Invictus Developments, CEO, Chayadi Karim.

“The addition of The Inchcolm, Brisbane under EVT’s management builds upon the expertise and capability injection already demonstrated at The Old Clare and Harbour Rocks Hotels. We look forward to continued momentum across these three hotels.”

Located in Brisbane CBD on Wickham Terrace, the 50-room hotel features heritage styling including a vintage cage-styled elevator, original woodwork throughout and decorative ceiling.
