The Star Grand Hotel

The Star Grand Hotel offers a polished five-star stay in South Bank, Brisbane, with direct access to The Star’s restaurants, bars and entertainment. The hotel has 340 rooms, 24-hour reception and a Leisure Deck overlooking the Brisbane River and South Bank, giving guests plenty of space to unwind without leaving the precinct. It is well suited to visitors who want accommodation connected to dining and nightlife, as well as travellers looking for a central base in Brisbane’s CBD.

Room choices range from City King and City Twin rooms to accessible rooms, river-view rooms and larger suites. Standard rooms average around 38 to 42 square metres and include wireless internet, a personal safe, a 55-inch television, integrated room controls and modern bathrooms. River rooms add sweeping water views, while the City and River Suites provide open-plan living areas, dining tables and two televisions. The Skyline City Suite and 217-square-metre Skyline Penthouse Suite offer considerably more space, with features such as a butler’s pantry, multiple bedrooms in the penthouse and freestanding baths. Accessible room options include bathroom handrails.

A major drawcard is Isoletto Pool Club, which is exclusive to hotel guests. Set on Level 7, it includes three heated pools with Brisbane River views, along with a sauna, steam room, indoor gym, pool bar and areas for relaxing. The facilities make the hotel a practical choice for a longer stay or a quieter break, while the river outlook adds a strong sense of place. Guests can also order in-room dining, and breakfast is available at The Star Grand from 7am to 10.30am, with last orders at 10am. The breakfast offering includes continental choices, hot dishes and coffee, tea and juice.
