Pick the Brisbane Marriott for the free pool, and know before you book that its one priced car goes to the airport, not to your ship. Its fact sheet lists a complimentary outdoor pool and whirlpool, a 3 p.m. check-in and an 11 a.m. check-out, and Century Limousines at A$85 (about US$60) one way or A$170 (about US$120) round trip for the airport.
The hotel faces the river on Queen Street, but the terminal is out at Pinkenba — 11.2 road miles on our routing, about 26 minutes with no traffic, and the sheet prints no ride there. The 14.5 km it does give is to Brisbane Airport, which is a different trip.
The sheet's parking is valet, A$59 (about US$40) a day under a 2.15 m height limit. It prints a bare dollar sign, which we read as Australian dollars. Pets aren't allowed.
I'd book it for the pool and treat the transfer as unsolved: ask whether Century Limousines will quote the terminal run, since the sheet prices only the airport.
Book it if
- A free pool and whirlpool matter more to you than a named restaurant
- You'd rather wake on the Queen Street riverfront than near the airport.
- You're flying in the day before and want the airport car priced up front
Look elsewhere if
- You want a restaurant or breakfast terms in writing, because the sheet gives neither.
- A pet is coming along, since pets aren't allowed.
- You want one number for the ride to the terminal before you pay.
A free pool on the Queen Street riverfront
The pool, the whirlpool and the airport fare are the green tiles. Restaurants and breakfast stay blank, because the sheet says nothing about them.
Queen Street to the ship
The one car the hotel lists stops at the airport, so the terminal is a separate problem. Pick where you're starting from below.
No Marriott shuttle: the airport car is the Century Limousines fare, and the sheet puts the airport 14.5 km away.
Century Limousines
Nothing is printed for the ship, so a taxi is the fallback.
Valet is the listed option, with a 2.15 m height limit.
Budget for a taxi, and ask Century Limousines for a terminal fare before you pay for the night.

Whirlpool tonight, car quote before bed
Your night is a check-in, a swim and one phone call about the car — the sheet prices the airport run, not the terminal.
Both the outdoor pool and the whirlpool are complimentary. The sheet names no restaurant, so settle dinner before you arrive.
Ask the desk whether Century Limousines will quote the terminal run, because the airport fare doesn't cover it.
The sheet we read gives no breakfast terms. Ask what your rate includes, or plan to eat out.
Book the car or taxi before bed, and treat our 26 minutes as a minimum, not a promise.
Keep the car off the hotel valet while you sail; the terminal lot's prices are in the parking section above.
Pool and whirlpool included, restaurant unnamed
The evening
PoolThe pool and whirlpool carry no charge on the sheet. It names no restaurant, though, so dinner is something you arrange yourself.

Pool, car fare, valet and pets: what the sheet settles
Is the pool free at the Brisbane Marriott?
Yes. The fact sheet lists the outdoor pool and whirlpool as complimentary.
How much does the Brisbane Marriott's airport car cost?
Century Limousines lists A$85 one way and A$170 round trip, as of Oct 6, 2026. That's an airport fare, and the sheet lists no shuttle of the hotel's own.
Can I park at the Brisbane Marriott?
The sheet lists valet at A$59 a day with a 2.15 m height limit. Its dollar sign is bare, so we read it as Australian dollars.
Does the Brisbane Marriott allow pets?
No. The fact sheet says pets aren't allowed.
How far is the Brisbane Marriott from the cruise terminal?
Our routing says about 11.2 road miles (18.1 km), roughly 26 minutes with no traffic; the sheet prints no figure of its own. Budget for a taxi on top.
