The Westin's headline is a swim-up bar. Marriott's page lists the Nautilus Pool with one, a 3 p.m. check-in, an 11 a.m. check-out, and breakfast included with Westin Club lounge access, not in standard rooms.
It's 11.9 road miles to the Brisbane International Cruise Terminal by our routing, about 28 minutes with no traffic. Marriott says the airport is 17.8 km away, lists no shuttle and says the concierge can arrange private transfers, with no fare printed.
Self-parking and valet are both A$60 (about US$40) a day, on a dollar sign we read as Australian. Pets aren't allowed.
I'd book it if the pool bar is the evening — and I'd ask the concierge to price a transfer for the terminal as well as the airport.
The Westin fits if
- A swim-up bar beats a dining room, for you.
- You'd rather self-park than hand over the keys.
- A lounge breakfast is worth the upgrade to you.
Choose elsewhere if
- Breakfast has to be included in a standard room.
- A pet is travelling with you.
- A named restaurant matters before you book.
A swim-up bar and a lounge breakfast
The pool bar and parking are green. Breakfast depends on the lounge, and the restaurants are a blank.
The Nautilus Pool, then a transfer
The pool is the evening — the transfer is a call to the concierge.
Drinks at the swim-up bar are the plan — the page names no restaurant.
Ask the concierge to arrange a private transfer and quote it.
Breakfast comes with Westin Club lounge access, not with a standard room.
About 11.9 road miles to the cruise terminal by our routing.
The Westin's parking is A$60 a day; the terminal's Wilson P2 lot is A$34 a day (about US$25), prepaid, as of Oct 6, 2026.
Mary Street to the ship
From Mary Street the terminal is across the river and out to Pinkenba — Marriott says the concierge can arrange private transfers, and the hotel runs no shuttle.
Marriott lists no shuttle and says the concierge can arrange private transfers. It puts the airport 17.8 km away.
The concierge
No shuttle is listed, so the concierge is who you'd ask. The terminal is about 28 minutes away by our routing.
From BNE without a hotel shuttle
Our routing says the airport is 15.4 km away, about 19 minutes, against Marriott's 17.8 km. The airport page compares the rides.
Driving? Self-park or valet, with the fee under the parking heading.
Same as above: a concierge-arranged transfer, not a shuttle.
Flying in on sail day? Skip the Westin; the airport page covers Airtrain and the taxi.
