Savills Hotel are pleasured to announce iconic Woolloongabba Redbrick Hotel sold by Tony Bargwanna and Leon Alaban.

The Heritage Listed Hotel is positioned in central Woolloongabba and has been a Brisbane landmark for 132 years. The hotel was first built in 1890 for Thomas Burke, who contracted prominent Brisbane architects John Hall & Son for the building’s design. The hotel’s siting on Annerley Road (then called Boggo Road) provided an advantage due to the large number of bullock drivers who were travelling through on the teamster trail from the Darling Downs.

Burke remained the owner and proprietor of the hotel until 1899 before selling it on. It has since had a number of owners but in the 1980s was named ‘Burke’s Hotel’ in his honour. The hotel retains a fair amount of its original architecture, substantially intact for a nineteenth century hotel. Burke’s Hotel was later known as the Red Brick, not because of the hotel’s exterior, but the red 10 pound notes – known as ‘bricks’ – that were used by the bookies when settling bets in the public bar.

After undergoing significant refurbishment over the past few years the Redbrick Hotel maintains its original charm whilst offering high-end modern finishes, creating the ideal atmosphere for patrons.

We are extremely grateful of the Hakfoort Group for entrusting us with the marketing and sale of the asset. The hotel provided many wonderful memories for the Hakfoort group over the past 23 years of ownership.
