In a groundbreaking move to reshape Brisbane’s tourism landscape, Minor Hotels has announced its strategic acquisition of management letting rights for the prestigious Queen’s Wharf Residences. Slated to commence in early 2025, this monumental partnership signals a defining moment in the evolution of urban tourism within Queensland’s capital.

The Queen’s Wharf Residences, a towering 64-story masterpiece and the highest structure in the iconic Queen’s Wharf Brisbane precinct, reimagines luxury living while elevating Brisbane’s status as a premier global destination for leisure, tourism, and entertainment. As the centrepiece of a $3.6 billion redevelopment, the Residences stand as a beacon of modernity and architectural excellence, harmonizing with the city’s subtropical charm.

Revolutionary Design Meets Unparalleled Amenities

Crafted with meticulous precision, Queen’s Wharf Residences offers an array of 1-, 2-, and 3-bedroom apartments, each featuring private balconies and innovative winter gardens equipped with lift-and-tilt windows to embrace Brisbane’s year-round balmy climate. The organic, elliptical tower design mirrors the curves of the Brisbane River, drawing attention skyward with its slender, edge-free silhouette.
