Ovolo The Valley doesn't print a check-in or check-out time, and that's the first thing to settle. The hotel calls both flexible and says to confirm with its team.
It ranks seventh on its evening rather than its distance: a rooftop pool and bar called Above, a restaurant called Kazba, and pets welcome under the V.I.Pooch offer. The terminal is 10.4 road miles (16.8 km) from Ann Street by our routing, about 24 minutes with no traffic.
The hotel's FAQ says there's no airport shuttle and puts the airport about 15 minutes away by taxi or rideshare, 20 by bus — it lists nothing for the terminal. Valet parking is A$85 (about US$60) per vehicle a day, with a secure car park 500 m away.
I'd book it for a dog and a rooftop swim, not for the ride — and get both times confirmed before you pay.
Book it if
- A dog is travelling with you.
- You want a rooftop pool and bar the night before.
- You're happy to confirm flexible times with the team, not to guess them.
Look elsewhere if
- You want the hotel to arrange a ride to the terminal.
- You're bringing a car and A$85 a day for valet is too much.
- You need fixed check-in times in writing.

Twenty for distance, ten for the evening
Fortitude Valley sits in the 20-point distance band, and the pool and restaurant earn 10 of the evening's 15 points. The ship and ride columns are zero, so the total is 30 on a scale of 100.
Taxi from Ann Street, 24 minutes
Two legs again, and the hotel's FAQ speaks to only one of them.
No airport shuttle, per the hotel's FAQ — a taxi or rideshare is about 15 minutes, a bus about 20.
The FAQ stops at the airport, so the terminal run is a taxi you arrange yourself.
From BNE without a hotel shuttle
By our routing Brisbane Airport is about 8.5 road miles from Ovolo The Valley, roughly 16 minutes with no traffic. The terminal is a longer run from Ann Street, so match your confirmed check-out to your boarding window.
No ride to the terminal is documented, and the Port of Brisbane lists nothing public that runs there.
Driving? The valet and secure-parking prices are under the parking heading.
Same answer for the last leg: no listed ride, and a taxi of about 24 minutes by our routing.
Landing on sail day itself? Skip the Valley; the airport page works out the margin.

No shuttle statedWith no hotel shuttle and no ride in the FAQ, a taxi you book yourself is the plan.

Kazba is open for an early meal and Ovolo's check-out is flexible, so the morning has room in it — settle the taxi first and let the rest flex around it.
Above, the rooftop pool and bar, is the evening's draw, with Kazba as the restaurant.
Book the taxi the night before, since nothing in the FAQ covers the terminal.
Kazba serves meals on weekdays from 6:30 to 10:30 a.m. and weekends from 7 to 11 a.m. The hotel doesn't say whether breakfast is in the rate.
Ask Ovolo's team for a check-out that fits the ride — the hotel sets your times, and no printed rule does.
Driving? Choose between valet and the secure car park 500 m away before you arrive.
