The Star Grand is the thinnest page of the eight, and three pools are what it leads with — not a restaurant, not a ride. The Queen's Wharf precinct page lists 340 rooms, a leisure deck with three pools, and a gym, and calls it five-star.
Our routing puts the Brisbane International Cruise Terminal 12.8 road miles away, about 30 minutes with no traffic. The page prints no ride to it, and no airport transfer either.
We found no official booking site for the hotel, only the precinct page, so check-in times, breakfast, parking and pet rules are all unstated.
I'd treat it as a hotel you phone before you book. If the pools decide it, get the policies first — and rely on none of them until you have them.
Book it if
- Three pools is the reason you're looking
- You'd like to stay in the Queen's Wharf precinct
- You're willing to phone for the rest
Look elsewhere if
- You need published policies.
- You want a restaurant list before you book.
- A parking price is part of your decision.
Three pools and a thin page
The pools and the gym are the green tiles. Nearly everything else is grey, because the precinct page prints little.
Pools and a gym, no restaurant named

No rating printedWe found no independent star rating for The Star Grand to cite, so there isn't one here. The precinct site calls it five-star, which is its own wording.
340 rooms, no times printed
The precinct page prints a room count and a rating, and a blank means it says nothing else.

Also worth knowing

Queen's Wharf to Pinkenba, 12.8 road miles
From Queen's Wharf the terminal is a taxi out to Pinkenba — the page lists pools, not a shuttle, so the ride is yours to arrange.
No airport transfer is mentioned on the precinct page we read.
No ride to the ship appears on the page we read.
From BNE without a hotel shuttle
Our routing puts Brisbane Airport 10.2 road miles away, about 21 minutes; the airport page has the train and the taxi.
No parking is stated on the page, so ask before you bring the car.
A taxi is the plan, not a printed ride, since nothing on the precinct page covers the ship — about 30 minutes by our routing.
Flying in on sail day? Skip The Star Grand and read the airport page for the ride.
Distance
~12.8 road mi to the cruise terminal, our routingThe page leaves out any distance to a terminal. On our routing the cruise terminal is about 12.8 road miles (20.6 km) away, 30 minutes with no traffic.

Ship shuttle not statedNothing is printed for the ship, so a taxi you book yourself is the plan.
Source: queenswharfbrisbane.com.auA swim, then a phone call
The deck and the room are the evening — the rest waits on a phone call.
Take the leisure deck and its three pools, then the gym — the page gives no dinner option to point to.
Call the hotel to ask about a taxi and check-out.
Ask whether breakfast is offered and what it costs; the precinct page says nothing on either.
The run is about 12.8 road miles by our routing, so book the taxi before you sleep, not at the kerb.
The hotel page lists no parking; at the terminal, Wilson's P2 lot charges A$34 a day (about US$25), prepaid, as of Oct 6, 2026.
