Queen's Wharf Brisbane occupies 12 hectares in the heart of the CBD, running along the Brisbane River between William and George Streets. The precinct combines hotels, restaurants, bars, a casino, public terraces and event spaces linked to South Bank via the Neville Bonner pedestrian bridge.
The precinct currently operates two hotels with different formats and different price points. Dorsett Brisbane (387 rooms) and Rosewood Brisbane are both scheduled to open in 2026 - confirm dates closer to your trip.
The Star Brisbane hotel at 33 William Street runs 340 rooms, including 60 suites and four penthouse suites.

Treasury Hotel Brisbane operates at 130 William Street, a five-minute walk from Queen's Wharf. The building dates to the 19th century and carries heritage listing. Ninety-six rooms, all with 5.5-metre ceilings, no two sharing the same floor plan. The hotel suits guests who want a boutique stay without the casino traffic.
The dining spread runs from casual flat-bread lunches to formal chef-driven restaurants with curated wine programs. Dinner bookings on weekends fill fast.
At a hundred metres above the river, the top level of the precinct runs three distinct venues:
Level four connects directly to the Neville Bonner Bridge and holds five restaurants in a row:
Inside the building, Sokyo handles Japanese cuisine. Fat Noodle covers Asian street food, including a 20-hour pho broth. HUA offers private Cantonese dining; book weeks ahead, not days.
The Star Casino Brisbane operates around the clock and takes up roughly five percent of the precinct's total footprint. The remaining space runs entertainment, events and public access.
The Event Centre holds the largest hotel ballroom in Brisbane. The venue handles gala dinners, cocktail functions, product launches and trade exhibitions. Capacity configurations are available on request from the venue team.
The Star Brisbane casino floor also holds private gaming rooms - Oasis for Gold members and above, Sovereign for Platinum, Diamond and Invited Members.
Public transport covers the precinct well - Central Station is 1.3 km away, South Brisbane Station 840 metres. The North Quay City Cat stop is a short walk. If you're driving, tight clearances and event-night demand mean planning ahead saves time.
Different height limits apply at different entry points. Check before you load the car.
For Treasury Hotel Brisbane, parking sits separately on George Street:
Weekend and public holiday rates at Treasury drop to A$15 flat. Lifts in the car park are periodically out for maintenance - if mobility is a factor, use valet or drop off at the William Street entrance.
If you're parking at Queen's Wharf on a Friday night, arrive before 6pm. After that, valet queues build quickly and self-park fills from the lower levels up. Coming in earlier also means you catch Cicada Blu before the DJ crowd arrives - quieter drinks, same view.
