At CPO Architects, we are experienced hotel architects delivering hotel and short-term accommodation projects across Queensland. Our work spans branded international hotels, boutique accommodation, short-term accommodation developments, and mixed-use developments where operational efficiency, guest experience, and brand alignment must work seamlessly together. As trusted hospitality architects, we understand that hotel and short-term accommodation projects demand more than strong design. They require coordination across consultants, compliance frameworks, brand standards, operation efficiency, and investor expectations. Our work on branded hotel sites, such as the Hilton, demonstrates our capability to deliver hotel environments that meet meticulous international brand guidelines while creating distinctive, high-quality spaces that are tailored to each site’s unique local and urban context.

Our Hotel Projects
Hilton Garden Inn Ipswich – $53M Development
We are proud to be delivering the new 160-room Hilton Garden Inn in Ipswich CBD, a landmark $53 million project set to strengthen the city’s accommodation offering ahead of the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Positioned adjacent to the Nicholas Street Precinct, this seven-storey hotel introduces modern, bright, and efficient hospitality design to one of South East Queensland’s fastest-growing cities. As experienced hotel architects, we are working closely with our clients and stakeholders to ensure the project reflects the brand’s global standards while responding thoughtfully to its local context.
The development will contribute significant economic benefit to the region, support long-term tourism growth, and deliver a high-quality hospitality asset that aligns with Hilton Garden Inn’s trusted global identity while increasing short-term accommodation capacity for visitors and business travellers in Ipswich.
44 Roma Street Hotel Tower – Brisbane CBD
CPO Architects were engaged to develop the updated proposal for 44 Roma Street, a refined 12-storey high-end hotel tower within Brisbane City. The development includes 60 hotel suites, activated ground-level hospitality spaces, and a rooftop recreation deck featuring a 25-metre lap pool, spa, and communal areas.
This project reflects our strength as hotel designers capable of adapting complex and very challenging urban sites while balancing design intent, regulatory considerations, and activation of surrounding public spaces. The refined massing and activated rooftop demonstrate our ability to deliver boutique hotel experiences and high-quality short-term accommodation within constrained CBD conditions.
Hilton Garden Inn Brisbane City Centre North – Spring Hill
We also lead the delivery of the Hilton Garden Inn Brisbane City Centre North at Spring Hill, a 129-key hotel supporting Brisbane’s growing visitor economy. Working within the framework of an international hospitality brand requires disciplined documentation, technical coordination, and alignment with detailed interior and operational standards.
Our involvement reinforces our reputation as hospitality architects experienced in delivering projects that meet global brand benchmarks while ensuring buildability and compliance within the Queensland regulatory environment for both hotel and short-term accommodation developments.
Hotel Architecture Designed for Performance and Brand Alignment
Selecting the right hotel architects is a critical decision for developers and investors. Hospitality projects involve layered approvals, complex service coordination, operational back-of-house requirements, and strict adherence to brand manuals. Without experienced guidance, miscommunication can result in costly redesigns, programme delays, or non-compliance with brand standards and project budget.
As specialist hospitality architects, we approach hotel projects with a clear and structured methodology. Early feasibility assessment, disciplined planning, and transparent communication ensure risks are identified and managed from the outset. This helps prevent scope creep and supports accurate cost forecasting. Buildability, cost control, and programme certainty are central to our process. From concept design through documentation, we align architectural intent with structural systems, services coordination, and contractor input to ensure the project can be delivered efficiently.
Detailed documentation, early consultant collaboration, and proactive design resolution reduce variations during construction and help maintain both budget and timeline. For hotel and short-term accommodation developments operating within fixed funding structures or brand-driven delivery schedules, this clarity is essential.
For Developers Comparing Hospitality Architecture Firms, Capability In Brand Integration Is Often A Defining Factor.
International operators maintain rigorous standards across spatial planning, guest room layouts, interior detailing, and operational workflow. Our experience working within these frameworks positions us as reliable hotel designers able to interpret and implement complex brand requirements without compromising design quality.
In addition to branded projects, we also work as luxury hotel architects, delivering boutique and high-end accommodation environments where spatial quality, materiality, and guest experience are paramount. Our cross-sector expertise strengthens these outcomes, ensuring that hotel projects benefit from the same disciplined approach applied across commercial and mixed-use developments.
Unlike many hospitality architecture firms, our experience extends beyond hospitality alone. This breadth enables us to integrate hotel and short-term accommodation developments into broader precincts, retail interfaces, and mixed-use environments, enhancing long-term value and activation.
