Isoletto Pool Club and the Leisure Deck

Isoletto Pool Club, in the operator's words

The official page describes three infinity-style pools with views over the Brisbane River, a pool bar, a sauna and steam room, an indoor gym, sun lounges, and "wet lounges" built into the pool itself. In the cooler months the water is heated: from 28°C in the two featured pools to 32°C in what the page calls an oversized swim spa. Food and drinks can be ordered to your lounge, and DJs play on some days.

Hours

Notice the shape of that week: the pools open at noon, not in the morning, and they close earliest on Sunday. That is why our plan puts the swim on Saturday afternoon after check-in, rather than on Sunday before check-out at 11 am — on Sunday morning the pool club is not yet open.

Who can use it

• Checked-in guests of The Star Grand and the people staying with them.
• The page also mentions "Isoletto day pass holders". We found no public price or booking page for a day pass, so we cannot tell you how to get one; ask the hotel.
• Under-18s must be with a parent or guardian.
• The Star's terms of entry for the area apply, and alcohol is served under responsible service rules.

The gym, sauna and steam room

The indoor gym, sauna and steam room are part of the pool club. The official pages list them, but not their separate hours, equipment or any age limit beyond the pool rule. We also did not find a spa with treatments — massages, facials — on The Star Brisbane's pages, so we do not describe one. If that matters to your weekend, ask us to check when you send your dates.

The Leisure Deck: the public part of Level 7

Around the pool club is the Leisure Deck, an open-air space 37 metres above street level. The events page compares it to more than two football fields; the FAQ puts it at 12,000 square metres and describes it as a place for sunset picnics. It is open to the public, reached by the George Street lifts, and it can be hired for events — 600 seated or 2,500 standing, according to the events page.

Live sport and food on the deck

The operator's "Live on Leisure Deck" page lists live sport on screen with food, for all ages, on Fridays from 5 to 10 pm and Saturdays from 3 to 10 pm, weather permitting. For a family that cannot go into the 18+ bars inside the casino, this is the obvious place to watch a game.

Skyline Cinema

On some evenings the deck becomes an outdoor cinema. Bookings are essential, seating ranges from a bean bag to a café table to your own picnic rug (the cheapest option was listed from $5 a person when we checked on 31 October 2026), and if the weather is bad the operator contacts ticket-holders by midday to cancel and refund. Screenings listed for November 2026 start at 6:30 pm: Wonka on Wednesday 18 November and The Hunger Games on Wednesday 25 November.
