The Star Grand Brisbane
We loved the pool area. Would be great if the pool bar didn't open so late though (1pm midweek and 12pm weekends I think). The staff when we checked in didn't really know when it opened or the other restaurants so that was a bit of a let down. The keys on NYE also stopped working so it took two trips ...
