Reservations have opened today for The Star Grand, the signature five-star hotel within The Star Brisbane. Guests can now book stays from 29 August 2024 at the 340 room and suite brand new property, which is part of the $3.6 billion Queen’s Wharf precinct in the Queensland capital.
The Star Grand will offer every guest a slice of luxury with rooms ranging from the contemporary River King and City King Rooms to the sophisticated open-plan River and City Suites, opulent Skyline City Suites and four exquisite Skyline Penthouse Suites.
Daniel Finch, CEO The Star Brisbane said the launch of hotel bookings marked a pivotal milestone in the resort’s multi-staged opening, with The Star Grand part of a collection of dining and leisure experiences to open at the end of next month.
“As the team prepares to unveil a destination almost a decade in the making, we are thrilled to invite guests of The Star Grand hotel to be among the first to experience the grand possibilities that await,” Finch said.
“With venue openings rolling out over the coming months, our returning guests will have the opportunity to enjoy new experiences each time they visit including a wide range of culinary delights and the unveiling of our hotel pools, steam room, sauna and gym in time for summer.”
“The Star Grand’s place within The Star Brisbane and wider Queen’s Wharf precinct will add a new dimension to the city, strengthening Brisbane’s competitive advantage and providing domestic and international visitors even more compelling reasons to visit Queensland ahead of the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games,” Finch said.
The Star Grand will become the gateway to a vast range of experiences throughout the new 12-hectare riverside precinct, inviting locals and visitors to explore the best Brisbane has on offer. Guests will be treated to a stay unlike any other from the moment they arrive; a breathtaking 21-metre glass oculus welcoming Brisbane’s warmth and light into the resort’s grand entrance where First Nations artist Tony Albert’s enormous 15-metre floating botanical sculpture Inhabitant takes pride of place.
A bespoke hand-made glass Lasvit lighting installation greets guests on entry to the Lobby, as their senses are tantalised by the sights, sounds and smells of The Star’s award-winning Japanese restaurant, Sokyo. On checking in, they ascend through the resort where the hotel occupies Levels 8 to 17 across two river-facing towers.
No comfort has been spared in the creation of the hotel’s 60 lavish suites which include 28 River Suites, 28 City Suites and four Skyline City Suites. Ranging between 75 – 113 square metres in size, each suite offers a spacious open-plan living area, king bed and a stunning bathroom with a luxurious freestanding bathtub.
Spanning across the top two levels, four exquisite 217sqm Skyline Penthouse Suites complete the five-star offering. Designed for those seeking unparalleled grandeur at every turn, The Star Grand Skyline Penthouse Suites feature a spacious open-plan lounge and dining area accentuated by the finest finishes, two private guest retreats each with their own ensuite, and an oversized bathtub where guests can soak in sunset skies.
The Star Grand will feature alongside an array of culinary experiences, dynamic entertainment and event destinations, striking Sky Deck, riverfront parklands and public art trails set to progressively launch from 29 August into late 2024 and beyond as part of The Star Brisbane and Queen’s Wharf’s multi-staged opening.
Additional venues destined for The Star Brisbane include Cucina Regina, Black Hide Steak & Seafood by Gambaro and Azteca (by Potentia Solutions Leisure) announced for The Terrace; Celebrity Chef Luke Nguyen’s dynamic Asian street food favourite Fat Noodle, live entertainment venue LiveWire and a sprawling Sports Bar on the Casino floor; and Sky Deck’s Aloria, Babblers and Cicada Blu.
Lead-in room rates online in the opening few months range from a low of $498 to highs of $888. On 31 August, the base rate is $999, suggesting an official opening date. The average nightly rate appears to be around $598 to $698.
