It is either the HGI or maybe they are looking for a existing hotel and make it a Doubletree, who knows.
 
I suspect whether Accor would be interested. The Sofitel Brisbane(which is rarely fully booked) is only about 200m away.
All the hotel chains would be interested, it’s in a good location, given it’s getting a refurb I would not be surprised to see it become a Hyatt, Accor would be keen as well, they have lost 5 hotels in Brisbane in recent times. The occupancy of the Sofitel is irrelevant.
 
I don’t think the owner would have ditched Hilton if it did not already have a better offer. Or it wants to go independent.

Similarly, I’m sure there’s another hotel owner in Brisbane that would love the Hilton business. Virtually guaranteed success by being the only Hilton in town.
 
The Sofitel was the Hilton in a past life.
As to the present Hilton the whole block is planned to be redeveloped. There will still be a hotel. Probably the developers have a preferred management but nothing has been announced yet. I think it shouldn’t be too long before plans are announced.

The Sofitel was never a Hilton, it was a Sheraton new build in the eighties and has the classic Sheraton layout with suites at the end of each floor. I was staying when the changeover occurred in Feb 2005. I miss the multi level royal suite!
