About Kpat Hotels

Founded in 2020 by Kenneth Wagner,



Kpat Hotels is building a portfolio of contemporary accommodation, restaurants, bars and pubs across Queensland. Each venue is shaped by its location and designed to create places local people feel proud of. Places for memorable stays, milestone celebrations, weekends away or simply enjoying great food and good company. Our approach is hands on. We invest in, develop, construct and operate our venues, allowing ideas to move from concept to opening with a clear vision. From interior design and brand identity through to the guest experience on the floor, we believe the details matter. The goal is always the same. To create venues that feel considered, welcoming and enrich the fabric of their community. Hospitality, for us, is about how people feel when they walk through the door. The warmth of the welcome, the energy of the room and the memories people take away. With venues operating and more in development, Kpat Hotels continues to grow across Queensland. We look forward to welcoming passionate people who want to help create great places and memorable experiences for our guests and communities.
