Treasury Casino and Hotel Brisbane
Queen's Wharf is more than a casino floor. It's a full riverside precinct with dining, entertainment, and Treasury Casino and Hotel Brisbane.
Getting There and Parking
Brisbane's CBD wraps around this precinct, so you've got several ways.
By Car and Onsite Parking
Driving in is straightforward, but peak weekend nights fill the garage fast.
- Entry points: three separate zones (A, B, C) plus a dedicated Porte Cochere for Star Grand guests.
- Height limit: vehicles must clear 2.1 metres to enter the garage.
- Star Grand flat rate: guests pay a flat 45 AUD per night for the length of their stay.
- Valet option: valet service runs 65 AUD a day if you'd rather skip the walk.
- Treasury Casino parking runs 24/7, but Friday and Saturday evenings push the garage to capacity quickly, so arrive before 7pm if you're driving in for dinner.
Public Transport and Ferry
Trains, buses, and the North Quay ferry terminal all drop you within a short walk of the main entrance. Walking across the Neville Bonner Bridge from South Bank is also a solid option if you're staying on that side of the river.
Quick tip: Skip the car altogether on a Saturday night. The ferry gets you to North Quay in minutes and saves you circling for a park.
Where to Eat
The dining spread here covers everything from a quick noodle bowl to a proper tasting menu, spread across the casino floor, The Terrace, and Sky Deck.
Sky Deck and Fine Dining
Book these Treasury Casino restaurants ahead if you want a table with a view:
- Aloria: European-leaning fine dining with Queensland seafood and dry-aged beef on the menu.
- HUĀ: Cantonese cooking from a chef with over sixty years in the kitchen, plus private dining rooms.
- Black Hide Steak & Seafood: a 240-seat steakhouse looking straight out over the river.
- Cucina Regina: family-style Italian cooking, no pretence, good for a group.
Casual Bites and Quick Meals
Not every meal needs a reservation. Treasury Casino restaurants on The Terrace level cover Vietnamese, Mexican, and French wine-bar. Fat Noodle is your best bet for something fast between gaming sessions.
Quick tip: Reserve Aloria or HUĀ at least a week out for weekend nights. Walk-ins rarely get a table before 9pm.
Where to Stay
Four hotel brands sit across this precinct, each aimed at a different budget and travel style.
Hotel Brands at a Glance
- The Star Grand: 340 rooms, five-star, includes access to the Isoletto Pool Club.
- Treasury Brisbane: heritage-listed rooms in the original Treasury Casino Hotel building, a short walk from the main tower.
- Dorsett Brisbane: a mid-tier four-and-a-half-star option built for business trips.
- Rosewood Brisbane: Australia's first six-star property, aimed squarely at the top end.
River-facing rooms cost more, but the view is worth it if you're staying more than one night. Book directly through the hotel.
Quick tip: Ask for a River King room at The Star Grand. The pool club access alone makes it worth the extra cost over a City King.
Where to Play and Unwind
At Brisbane Treasury Casino, you'll find roughly 1,600 electronic machines and 92 table and poker games, running 24 hours a day.
Higher-tier loyalty members get access to private rooms - Oasis for Gold and up, Sovereign for Platinum and Diamond.
Shows, Events and the Sky Deck
Gaming isn't the only draw once you head upstairs. LiveWire hosts live music, comedy nights, and a regular Friday karaoke slot, all built around a 19-metre circular bar. The Event Centre seats over 1,400 for conferences, galas, and bigger productions, and the Sky Deck itself doubles as an open-air venue for private functions and casual visits alike - free to enter, open around the clock, with a glass-floor section if you're after the photo.
Bars, Lounges and Nightlife
Treasury Casino Bars worth knowing include LiveWire for live music and karaoke nights, Cherry for cocktails with a 360-degree lounge, and the Sports Bar for match days on a pair of 12-metre screens. Sky Deck's Cicada Blu is the pick for a sunset drink before dinner.
Insider tip: Hit the gaming floor before 9pm on weeknights if you want a table game without a queue - it gets tight fast once the dinner crowd moves through.
First Day Plan
Start the morning with a coffee at Babblers on Sky Deck, then walk the glass floor section while the light's still soft. Head to the pool club by late morning if you're staying at the Star Grand, and grab lunch at Fat Noodle before it gets busy. Spend the afternoon on the gaming floor or book a table game session, then shower and change before your dinner reservation. Book HUĀ or Black Hide for dinner if you didn't already, and finish the night with a drink at Cherry or a set at LiveWire. If you drove in, leave before 11pm to beat the exit queue at the garage.
