Landmark deal: Minor Hotels secures Management Rights for iconic Queen’s Wharf Residences

Minor Hotels, one of the world’s fastest-growing global hospitality groups, has announced a significant addition to its Australasian portfolio with the signing of management letting rights for the landmark Queen’s Wharf Residences in Brisbane.

Set to begin operations in early 2025, the agreement marks a pivotal moment for urban tourism in Queensland’s capital.

Minor Hotels acquired the management and letting rights to Queen’s Wharf Residences via a transaction brokered by ResortBrokers’ Director Tim Crooks and Brisbane Broker Jessie Shi on behalf of their client Far East Consortium and Chow Tai Fook.

The 64-storey Queen’s Wharf Residences is the tallest tower within Brisbane’s transformative Queen’s Wharf precinct, a world-class tourism, leisure, and entertainment hub. Its striking organic elliptical design, inspired by the curves of the Brisbane River, is set to redefine the city’s skyline while solidifying Brisbane’s position as a global destination.

Innovative urban living for visitors

The property offers an array of 1-, 2-, and 3-bedroom apartments, each designed to maximise the subtropical climate with balconies and innovative winter gardens featuring lift-and-tilt windows.

Guests will also enjoy exclusive access to luxury amenities, including a pool, spa, steam room, theatre, leisure lounge, and gym.

Beyond the tower, the Queen’s Wharf precinct boasts world-class dining at establishments such as Sokyo and Fat Noodle, spectacular panoramic views from the Sky Deck, and a state-of-the-art event centre.

This unique blend of premium accommodation and entertainment sets a new standard for urban tourism in Brisbane.

Industry leaders partner for excellence

Lauren Sheldon, Head of Sales and Marketing Australia for property developer Far East Consortium, highlighted the significance of the collaboration.

“Queen’s Wharf Residences has become Queensland’s fastest-selling development, offering not just a place to stay, but an unprecedented benchmark in urban tourism for Brisbane,” she said. “Minor Hotels’ extensive expertise in property management makes them the ideal partner to deliver the premium experience our guests expect.” 

Craig Hooley, Chief Operating Officer for Minor Hotels Australasia, expressed excitement about the partnership.

“This landmark development offers a product unlike anything Brisbane has seen in terms of scale and proximity to the city’s most exciting precincts,” he said.

“Given our extensive experience managing over 550 properties globally, including 11 existing properties in Brisbane CBD, we are well-equipped to manage this pioneering development which further establishes Brisbane’s position on the world stage as a global destination for entertainment, leisure and tourism.”
