Radisson Hotel Group has signed Sixty-Five Hotel Brisbane, a member of Radisson Individuals, reinforcing its presence in Australia and marking the debut of the brand in Queensland with a well-positioned, fully renovated hotel in the heart of Brisbane’s CBD.

Set to open in the second quarter of 2026, the 59-room property will be a compact, design-led upscale hotel in one of the country’s most dynamic cities within Radisson Hotel Group’s development strategy ahead of the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

The hotel will be operated by Mandala Hotels and Resorts and branded with the global Radisson chain.

“This hotel is my little gem in central Brisbane, and my vision was to create a design-led property with a strong personality,” said Sixty-Five Hotel Brisbane owner, Sammy Singh.

“It has been an absolute pleasure working with both Radisson Hotel Group and Mandala Hotels and Resorts, and I am confident that their combined expertise, global reach and operational strength will deliver strong results.”

The hotel’s public areas will include a vibrant social and entertainment space on the lower ground level, complemented by dedicated workstations, creating an easy flow between work and downtime for corporate, government, and leisure guests.

“Brisbane is a strategic priority for Radisson Hotel Group, and this signing reflects our focused approach to expanding in Tier 1 cities with assets that are well-located, commercially resilient and aligned with evolving guest expectations,” said, Radisson Hotel Group Director, Development, Australasia, Danilo Curcuruto.

“Operated through a first-in-market collaboration with Mandala Hotels and Resorts, Sixty-Five Hotel Brisbane, a member of Radisson Individuals, is an exciting addition to our Australian portfolio.

“The full renovation, strong CBD positioning, and the flexibility of Radisson Individuals will allow us to deliver a distinctive stay experience while creating long-term value for our partners in a market with powerful growth drivers.”

The hotel’s public areas will include a vibrant social and entertainment space on the lower ground level, complemented by dedicated workstations, creating an easy flow between work and downtime for corporate, government, and leisure guests.

Housed in a five-storey building, the hotel will benefit from strong visibility and a prominent heritage façade, with frontage along Turbot Street, a key arterial road in Brisbane’s CBD.

The combination of character, location, and upgraded design will position the hotel to capture demand across corporate, government, and leisure segments.

Mandala Hotels and Resorts Director Business Development, Elena Martiniuc, added: “At Mandala Hotels and& Resorts, our focus is on transforming underperforming or evolving assets into high-value, design-led, hotel experiences.

“We specialise in repositioning, rebranding, and operating diverse hotel portfolios with a strong emphasis on commercial performance and guest-centric design.

“Our partnership with Radisson Hotel Group on this project marks an exciting step for us in the Australasian market.

“Together, we are reimagining this property into a refreshed, design-forward hotel that reflects the next chapter of its lifecycle.

“With the upcoming rebrand and operational transition, we are confident this asset will achieve strong performance outcomes and deliver an elevated experience for future guests.”
