Notes to Editor:

• With over two decades of experience, EVT has appointed Joel Gordon as Group General Manager of the three-hotel collection. Most recently leading QT Canberra, Gordon will also take on the position of General Manager at The Old Clare Hotel. 
• The Inchcolm Hotel originally served as a residence and later as medical chambers. The building was constructed in 1880s but transformed into medical suites in 1930 by Dr. John Thomson, a well-known physician and surgeon. The name "Inchcolm" is derived from an island in Scotland, reflecting Dr. Thomson's Scottish heritage. 
• One of the most notable features of The Inchcolm Hotel is its vintage cage elevator, one of the oldest working lifts of its kind in Australia. This elevator has been a central feature of the building since its installation in the early 1930s. In a previous life, it was a manually operated lift and has become a symbol of the building's historic charm and its connection to the past.
• The Inchcolm Hotel is listed on the Queensland Heritage Register, recognising its architectural and historical significance to Brisbane and Queensland at large.
