Magic Round Day 2 brings three big games to Suncorp Stadium, and The Transcontinental Hotel is the ideal Brisbane CBD base for lunch, drinks, live music and a proper late-night return after the final match.

Located opposite Roma Street Station and around a short 15-minute walk to Suncorp Stadium, The Trans lets you settle in early, move easily between sessions and come back once the stadium empties out.

With Tigers v Sea Eagles, Roosters v Cowboys and Eels v Storm across the day, a flexible early set and late set setup makes this one of the easiest ways to handle a full Saturday of footy.

Early set across the afternoon

Kel Harper handles the early set, carrying the venue through the opening stretch of Day 2 while lunch service and the first game crowd roll in.

Late set after the final game

Once the last game wraps up, the Ben Stewart Duo takes over for the late set, keeping Magic Round Saturday alive well into the night.
