Mantra on Queen has enhanced its reputation as one of Brisbane’s most comfortable and stylish city escapes with the completion of a major $2.2million refurbishment.  The makeover delivers a fresh new Brisbane city option for business and leisure travellers with living areas, bedrooms and public areas all featuring in the upgrade.

Hotel Rooms and spacious One and Two Bedroom Apartments have completed a major refurbishment which includes stylish and bold new furniture, new window furnishings, revamped bathrooms and kitchens/kitchenettes, new carpet and a fresh coat of paint.  Hotel Rooms have also received spacious desk workspaces with contemporary built-in cabinets to house 37” LCD televisions.

Guests can also take advantage of Mantra on Queen’s great rates for one of Brisbane’s upcoming major sporting events such as Brisbane International Tennis Tournament (part of the Australian Open Series) on 30 December to 6 January, or the Australia v South Africa Test cricket match at The Gabba (held from 9 to 13 November).

With premier conferencing facilities in the Queen Anne function rooms for up to 120 guests banquet style and well-appointed accommodation, Mantra on Queen offers the ideal blend of business and leisure just minutes from the cosmopolitan city centre of Brisbane and just 20 minutes drive from Brisbane Airport.

The hotel also boasts an array of leisure facilities such as an outdoor swimming pool and spa, gymnasium and sauna plus undercover car parking, onsite restaurants and a 24 hour reception.

Mantra on Queen is the latest in a series of refurbishments undertaken by Mantra’s CBD hotels throughout 2012. A $20million investment in refurbishments across Mantra’s 21 CBD properties commenced in July 2011 and is part of a two year investment to upgrade city hotel product.

To date, this includes a $7million refurbishment across Melbourne properties Mantra on the Park, Mantra 100 Exhibition, Mantra on Russell and Mantra on Little Bourke; Sydney properties Mantra Parramatta and most recently Mantra on Kent; and in Darwin, Mantra on the Esplanade.

“Our city hotels are predominantly frequented by business travellers who will benefit from the refreshed product now on offer but leisure travellers visiting for city events will also enjoy the new look hotels,” said Mantra Group CEO Bob East.

There are 51 Mantra Hotels, Resorts and Apartments around Australia in all capital cities and key holiday destinations including the Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Tropical North Queensland and the NSW North Coast.
