Brisbane is set to take a bold step into the future of urban tourism with the arrival of the landmark Queens Wharf Residences, a dazzling 64-storey tower that is redefining the skyline of Queensland’s capital. Managed by Minor Hotels, one of the fastest-growing global hospitality groups, this world-class development promises to elevate Brisbane’s reputation as a premier destination for tourism, leisure, and entertainment.
Scheduled to open in early 2025, Queens Wharf Residences is the crown jewel of the transformative Queen’s Wharf Brisbane precinct. The project not only reshapes the city’s urban landscape but also sets a new benchmark for luxury living and tourism, offering residents and guests an unparalleled lifestyle experience.
A Visionary Development in the Heart of Brisbane
The tallest tower in the Queen’s Wharf precinct, Queens Wharf Residences features an organic, elliptical design inspired by the soft curves of the Brisbane River. Its slender, edgeless appearance draws the eye upwards, embodying sophistication and architectural brilliance.
Inside, the development boasts meticulously designed one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments, each equipped with balconies and innovative winter gardens. These spaces, featuring lift-and-tilt windows, allow guests to fully embrace Brisbane’s subtropical climate throughout the year. This thoughtful design blurs the line between indoor and outdoor living, creating a seamless connection with the vibrant river city.
Exclusive Amenities and World-Class Access
Queens Wharf Residences offers a suite of luxury amenities tailored to provide a lifestyle of indulgence. Guests will have access to a pool, spa, steam room, gym, theatre, and a leisure lounge room. These facilities, combined with direct access to the Queen’s Wharf Brisbane precinct, ensure an exceptional experience at every turn.
The precinct itself is a playground for entertainment and dining enthusiasts. Highlights include unique venues such as Sokyo, Fat Noodle, and Cherry, as well as breathtaking panoramic views from the Sky Deck. Additionally, the state-of-the-art Event Centre makes Queens Wharf Brisbane a hub for global conferences, weddings, and special events.
A Partnership of Expertise and Vision
This ambitious project demanded a management partner with a track record of excellence. Minor Hotels, which manages over 550 properties worldwide, was the clear choice. The group already operates 11 properties in Brisbane’s CBD, showcasing their deep understanding of the local market and commitment to quality.
Craig Hooley, Chief Operating Officer for Minor Hotels Australasia, shared his excitement about the partnership:
“We are excited to add such a landmark Brisbane development to our portfolio, offering a product unlike anything the city has seen before with respect to size and scale, and proximity to Brisbane CBD’s most exciting dining and entertainment precinct.”
Far East Consortium, the property’s developer, echoed this sentiment. Lauren Sheldon, Head of Sales and Marketing Australia, highlighted the importance of a trusted partner to meet the expectations of a project of this scale:
“The scale of this project demanded a management partner with unmatched expertise to offer the premium management guests of Queen’s Wharf Residences will expect, and Minor Hotels’ extensive experience in property management across Australasia and beyond instils us with confidence that they are the ideal partner to deliver on this promise.”
