Pullman Brisbane Airport was part of the $150-million project to transform 1,800sqm Brisbane Airport Conference Centre with a 243-room airport hotel.

Anthony and Scott Flynn, of Flynn Property Group and Scott Flynn Properties, ushered in the development.  The Flynn brothers have also delivered a quality 4.5-star hotel at Brisbane Airport’s Skygate precinct, the Novotel Brisbane Airport. The three hotels with a combined total of 532 guest rooms see Flynn’s as the largest franchisee partner for Accor in the region.  

Pullman Brisbane Airport welcomed its first guests in October 2017. Aside from the luxury accommodation, the hotel offers guests a premium transit experience while awaiting their next flight. Guests can enjoy a bite to eat in Apron Restaurant and Bar, relax by the pool or unwind in the Executive Club Lounge.
