The Hilton's odd detail is a tennis court. Its page lists one beside an outdoor heated pool and a fitness room, so a restless last night has somewhere to go.
The page calls the airport a 30-minute drive, lists no shuttle and prints no ride to the terminal. On our routing the Brisbane International Cruise Terminal is 11.8 road miles out, about 28 minutes with no traffic.
Parking is valet at A$58 (about US$40) a day, with no self-parking offered. Check-in is 2 p.m., check-out 11 a.m., and the page names no restaurant — breakfast comes only with select packages or the executive lounge.
I'd book it for the court or the pool, not for convenience, and I'd ask the desk what a taxi to Pinkenba costs, since there's no shuttle to lean on.
Book it if
- You'll use the tennis court or the pool, not just the bed.
- You're arriving early and a 2 p.m. check-in works
- Valet-only parking suits you
Look elsewhere if
- Breakfast in a standard rate matters to you.
- You'd rather park your own car.
- A pet is coming, and the page says no.
A swing, a swim, then a taxi
Court time or a swim, an early night, then a taxi from the desk — not a shuttle.
Pool, fitness room, tennis court: all three are on the page. A restaurant isn't, so plan dinner outside.
Ask the desk to book the taxi for your boarding window, and agree the fare before you leave the lobby.
Breakfast isn't in a standard rate, per the page. It comes with select packages and the executive lounge only.
About 28 minutes by taxi with no traffic — and nothing on the page covers the ride.
The valet rate above covers the hotel stay. For the cruise itself, the terminal's P2 lot is A$34 (about US$25) a day prepaid, as of Oct 6, 2026.
A tennis court, a pool and valet only
The court, the pool and valet parking are what the page prints. Breakfast is partial, and restaurants are blank.

Ratings
No rating printedNo star class or guide rating turned up for the Hilton, so we print none.
Elizabeth Street to Pinkenba, no shuttle
Elizabeth Street is a half-hour taxi from Pinkenba, and the Hilton offers a court, not a shuttle. Start from where you are below.
The page gives the drive only, 30 minutes, and no shuttle.
No ship ride is listed, so budget for a taxi.
From BNE without a hotel shuttle
Hilton's page says 30 minutes. Our routing says 9.4 road miles, about 19 minutes with no traffic, so allow for the gap. The airport page compares the rides.
Driving? Valet is A$58 a day, and self-parking isn't available.
Nothing is listed for the last leg, so it's a car or taxi from Elizabeth Street.
Flying in on sail day? The Hilton adds a stop you don't need; the airport page times the ride.
Distance
~11.8 road mi to the cruise terminal, our routingThe Hilton prints no terminal distance, so these numbers are ours: 11.8 road miles (18.9 km) to the Brisbane International Cruise Terminal, 28 minutes with no traffic.
