Mercure Brisbane Spring Hill | Parklands Social: NY Deli & Grill

About the Mercure brand

Mercure Hotels offer so much more than a place to find comfort and sleep –they are a portal to discovery, a springboard to exploration. Since its founding in 1973, Mercure has made it its mission to enlighten guests to the treasures of the location they are in. The network prides itself on offering high-quality standards with a true take on locality. From the moment guests arrive –– in one of our 950+ Hotels across 60+ countries –they are instantly immersed in a locally inspired atmosphere. Everything from the decorative design to a passion for local food and beverage discoveries is rooted in the unique features of each destination. 

About Mercure Brisbane Spring Hill 

The Mercure Brisbane Spring Hill is located on the central city fringe, just minutes from the CBD, Brisbane River, Suncorp Stadium and public transport.  Overlooking the city skyline and Roma St Parklands, the Hotel features 179 spacious guest rooms with generous open-aired balconies, modern amenities, an outdoor swimming pool, fitness room, and an alfresco-style restaurant and bar. 

This is your chance to be part of something new.

Mercure Brisbane Spring Hill has entered an exciting new chapter, and we’re looking for a passionate Sous Chef to join our kitchen team and be part of the journey.

Now, we’re looking for a talented Sous Chef who is ready to make their mark.
