The world’s largest hotel franchiser expanded its brand to Brisbane at the end of September.

Before being refurbished and rebranded as the Ramada by Wyndham Brisbane Windsor, the hotel was recognized as the Brisbane International Windsor Hotel. The hotel now features 61 guestrooms, is in Brisbane’s northern suburbs and is close to downtown Brisbane and a number of attractions.

“As the largest city in Queensland and a key economic and tourism centre for the whole of Australia, Brisbane is an impactful new destination for the Ramada brand, which has enjoyed strong traction in this country. Guests can look forward to the familiar hospitality and quality accommodation expected from the well-known Ramada brand at our new Ramada Brisbane Windsor,” said Joon Aun Ooi, president and managing director, Wyndham Hotels and Resorts, South East Asia and Pacific Rim.

While suitable for travellers of all kinds, the hotel caters to business travellers with two conference rooms and a boardroom. The hotel also features an authentic Italian restaurant, an outdoor swimming pool, a fitness room and complimentary on-site parking.

“As one of the most famous names in the hotel industry, Ramada is the perfect fit for our hotel, allowing guests to enjoy world-class accommodation and amenities in a prime location on the doorstep of the city’s leading corporate sites, sporting arenas, and tourism attractions. By harnessing the global power of Wyndham and the Ramada brand, we’re in a position to become one of the leading midscale hotels in the city,” said Brent Christofferson, hotel manager.
