IHG Hotels & Resorts (IHG) has announced the signing of the second Holiday Inn & Suites in Australasia, partnering for the first time with Felix Capital to open Holiday Inn & Suites Caloundra Sunshine Coast in early 2028.
Overlooking the pristine beaches and picturesque coastal town of Caloundra, this new hotel will form part of a mixed-use development in the heart of the Sunshine Coast.
The striking 160-room hotel will include 33 suites and feature all the Holiday Inn brand hallmarks, including an open lobby, all-day dining restaurant and lobby cafe, meeting spaces, a well-equipped fitness centre, outdoor pool and Kids Club. In addition, guests will enjoy magnificent views of Caloundra while enjoying lunch, dinner and drinks at the hotel’s signature rooftop restaurant and sky bar.
With over 70 years of history, Holiday Inn is one of the most loved and recognised hotel brands in the world and has deep roots in family and business travel, stemming from the vision of its founder, Kemmons Wilson, to provide a quality, consistent and authentic travel experience for all.
Marking IHG’s continued growth within the Premium and Essentials segment, the hotel will be the first Holiday Inn & Suites in regional Queensland and will showcase the elevated freshness of the Holiday Inn brand. With a brilliant location on Bulcock Street, Caloundra, the popular leisure and family-friendly destination, is a 90-minute drive from Brisbane and just 35 minutes from Maroochydore Airport. Plus, the Queensland State Government recently announced a light rail with connectivity from Brisbane Airport, to be completed in advance of the 2032 Summer Olympics in Brisbane.
“We’re delighted to be bringing our Holiday Inn & Suites brand to the Sunshine Coast and thrilled to be partnering with Felix Capital on this exciting hotel in Caloundra. As part of the world’s largest hotel brand family, Holiday Inn’s inimitable hallmarks strongly align to the approachability and leisure-orientated nature of the Sunshine Coast market," said Cameron Burke, director of development for Australasia at IHG.
“Balancing a desired location and outstanding aspect, with convenient accessibility to a myriad of diverse recreational activities, we expect Holiday Inn & Suites Caloundra Sunshine Coast to be a popular destination for leisure and business travellers alike, particularly with families.”
