The property is operated by TFE Hotels under its Adina brand. It was developed by Brisbane-based Limitless Developments and designed by WMK Architecture.
Located at 523 Hamilton Road, the new hotel was officially opened this week by Chermside Ward Councillor Danita Parry alongside Adina Chermside general manager Sue Rowe and Limitless Developments director Nick Barr.
The design incorporates natural light, generous glazing, and integrated greenery intended to reflect the subtropical setting.
According to WMK Architecture practice director David Percival, the project was designed to create “a sense of retreat within an urban setting,” with interiors inspired by nearby Chermside Hills Reserve.
Rooms range from studio configurations to one-bedroom apartments, each with kitchen and laundry facilities. Guest amenities include an all-day café and bar, a gym, undercover parking, and meeting spaces.
The hotel is also targeting small corporate events and business gatherings, with dedicated meeting rooms including the Staib Room, Hamilton Room, and combined Maiwar Room for larger functions.
Delegate packages start from $75 per person and include meeting room hire, Wi-Fi, audiovisual facilities, catering, and refreshments.
General manager Sue Rowe said the property had been designed to serve a range of guest types, including visitors to the nearby hospital precinct, corporate travellers, families, and sporting groups. She said early demand had been strong, particularly among guests seeking more space and flexibility than a standard hotel room.
Rowe also described the opening as a personal milestone, marking her first hotel opening in a 28-year career with the group.
The hotel features works by Queensland photographer and filmmaker Sam Thies throughout the property, drawn from his coffee-table book BUSH.
The artwork focuses on regional and outback Queensland landscapes and communities, with Rowe saying the images reminded her of “the smell of dust after rain, the hum of cicadas, and the long roads home.”
The connection was particularly personal for Rowe, whose family history traces back to Diamond Downs cattle station in outback Queensland.
The hotel has partnered with Australian suppliers, including amenities brand Dilkara.
Group chief operating officer Chris Sedgwick said the Adina brand aimed to create spaces connected to their local destination through partnerships with Australian suppliers, artists, and designers.
CEO Antony Ritch described the Chermside opening as part of the group’s broader Queensland expansion strategy.
He referenced the Queensland Government’s Destination 2045 tourism plan, which forecasts demand for around 40,000 additional hotel rooms across the state, including up to 30,000 rooms needed by 2032 ahead of the Brisbane Olympic and Paralympic Games.
The Adina brand has also been expanding internationally, with recent openings in the United Kingdom and the rollout of its A by Adina label in Vienna, with Berlin to follow.
To mark the opening, the hotel has launched a “Shop, Stay and Play” package for bookings made before 31 July 2026, including discounted accommodation, a Westfield voucher, wine on arrival, and late checkout.
