Westin Expands Serviced Apartments to Queensland

Starwood Hotels and Resorts Worldwide has announced an agreement with Metacap Empire Square Property, Ltd. to open a new Westin Hotel and Serviced Apartments in Brisbane, the state capital of Queensland, Australia. The Westin Brisbane Empire Square Hotel and Serviced Apartment residences will open its doors in 2012.

The Westin Brisbane Square will offer 306 rooms and will share a 66 story tower with The Residences serviced apartments which will be the first internationally branded residential development in Australia. The opening of the hotel and serviced apartments in 2012 marks the return of the Westin brand to Brisbane.

The Westin Brisbane Empire Square will be located within close proximity to Central Station, the Convention and Exhibition Center, and Brisbane casino. The hotel and serviced apartment residences will make up a portion of a mixed-use development that includes commercial serviced office space and 8000 square feet of meeting space. The serviced apartment residences will also have easy access to popular attractions that include the Botanic Gardens, King George Square and Queen Street Mall which is the entertainment hub of Brisbane.

The Residences at The Westin Brisbane Empire Square will include 98 luxury serviced apartments and six penthouses. Residents will be able to enjoy access to hotel services and facilities as well as a spectacular view of the South Bank, the city and the ocean. Additional facilities will include a fitness facility, indoor pool, and access to the hotel’s three restaurants and bars.

Westin is currently present in Auckland and Fiji and will open a hotel in Queenstown by the close of 2009. The Queensland project will join the Westin brand in Sydney and Melbourne and is one of the first developments in Australia that combines serviced offices, hotel, and serviced apartments.
