Brisbane's North Gets a Major Boost with Adina Chermside Set to Open in February 2026
QUEENSLAND: A new hotel is on the horizon for Brisbane’s booming northern corridor, with the 148-key Adina Chermside Brisbane confirmed to open its doors in February 2026. The new-build Adina property will be the largest hotel ever delivered in the fast-growing suburb and will be operated by TFE Hotels – the Australian-based, international leader in high-quality apartment-style hotels.
“The signing of Adina Chermside Brisbane is a significant milestone for TFE Hotels, providing an opportunity for us to expand our Adina Hotels’ footprint from two hotels to three in the powerhouse state of Queensland,” says TFE Hotels’ Group Chief Operating Officer, Chris Sedgwick.
“Adina Chermside brings our homegrown hotel brand to this important suburb, and our casual living philosophy – with kitchens and laundry and flexible spaces, fills a gap in the accommodation market for the north side of Brisbane and the Prince Charles Hospital. Significantly, it also represents an incredible opportunity to expand our footprint to maximise on the incredible decade of transformation that lies ahead of the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.”
The new Adina Chermside has now officially topped out, marking a major milestone as construction moves into the interior fit-out phase. With the hotel’s structure complete, attention has turned to bringing the thoughtfully designed interiors and guest spaces to life ahead of the opening, with the hotel on track to deliver a contemporary, apartment-style hotel experience designed for short and long stays in Brisbane’s fast-growing north.
LOCAL DEVELOPER: LIMITLESS POTENTIAL
The Adina Chermside Brisbane is being delivered by Limitless Developments, a South-East Queensland-based company owned by local developer, Nick Barr.
With more than 25 years of personal experience in Brisbane, Barr’s company comes with a proven track record that has delivered a diverse portfolio worth over $150 million across Queensland, and with a further $160 million in its pipeline.
“We are a homegrown developer who understands Brisbane’s inner north intimately, and we’re confident that Adina Chermside will become the flagship hotel for this burgeoning part of the city,” said Mr Barr. “We are excited to partner with TFE Hotels – an Australian-born company and experienced hotel operator – to bring this future-thinking development to life.
“The Chermside area is transitioning, and we anticipate that the demand for quality corporate, travel and health-based accommodation needs in the area will only continue to increase in the next five to ten years.”
AUSTRALIAN HOSPITALITY
Adina Chermside Brisbane will be well serviced by 148 hotel rooms with thoughtful touches, a conference space, spacious lobby, and café/bar with an all-day dining restaurant. Guest facilities will include a lobby lounge, meeting room, gym, hotel and onsite car parking.
True to the forward-thinking nature of this development, Adina Chermside Brisbane has been thoughtfully designed with a strong focus on sustainability and environmental performance. Working with WMK Architecture, the project embraces “Buildings that Breathe” principles, maximising natural light and airflow while creating seamless indoor-outdoor connectivity throughout the hotel.
High-performance Low-E double glazing and sun shading to most windows will improve energy efficiency by up to 40% and reduce heat gain, while all rooms will enjoy solar access and natural ventilation, helping minimise reliance on mechanical systems. Water-saving initiatives, including efficient fittings and rainwater harvesting for landscape irrigation, support the project’s broader conservation goals.
Green landscaping with deep planting zones and façade greenery will help reduce thermal load and enhance urban biodiversity, while a dedicated refuse room promotes waste minimisation and recycling. The result is a hotel that not only meets the needs of modern travellers but also aligns with the sustainable future of Brisbane’s built environment.
POSITIONED FOR GROWTH
Chermside is a major health and medical hub, notably home to the Prince Charles Hospital precinct, servicing the medical needs of not only Brisbane but greater Queensland residents. As part of the Queensland Government’s Queensland Capacity Expansion Program, The Prince Charles Hospital – which is adjacent to the Adina Chermside site – is confirmed to undertake a $300 million expansion commencing in December 2024. This will add an additional 93 beds and a further four-storey expansion on the existing building, to be completed by 2028.
“With such great access to public transport, incredible retail amenities and health and research services right here on our doorstep, this is a much-needed lifestyle hotel catering to potential business and leisure travellers as well as longer-stay hospital guests,” Sedgwick said.
Chermside is also home to one of the largest shopping centres in the country – Westfield Chermside – providing shopaholic guests with plenty of retail therapy.
Developer Mr Barr added, “Locally, visitors can also take advantage of a large network of parklands along beautiful Downfall Creek, with a system of bikeways and footpaths connecting various areas to experience at leisure, whilst greater Brisbane continues to enjoy a stellar reputation for its bustling dining and cultural scene.”
