Burleigh Heads
Mondrian's Australian debut at Burleigh Heads brings New York nightlife energy to one of the Gold Coast's most desirable addresses — rooms designed by Tom Dixon, a rooftop pool with ocean views, and beach access to one of the best surf breaks in Queensland.
Main Beach
The world's first Versace-branded hotel remains the Gold Coast's most opulent address — an Italian palazzo on the Broadwater waterway with 72 palazzo rooms and suites decorated with Versace furnishings, fittings, and fashion. The pool complex is among Australia's most spectacular.
Surfers Paradise
QT's Gold Coast outpost perfectly captures the city's kitsch glamour with exuberant design, the legendary Stingray Lounge bar and pool scene, and rooms that lean into the theatrical resort aesthetic. Consistently one of the most fun hotels in Australia.
Surfers Paradise
One of the Gold Coast's most reliable large resort hotels with a lagoon pool of significant scale, multiple restaurants, and well-equipped rooms that consistently deliver on the Marriott promise of comfort and service. Family-friendly with excellent kids' facilities.
Surfers Paradise
A striking contemporary hotel in the Soul building — one of the Gold Coast's most architecturally distinctive towers — with extraordinary beach and ocean views, a tri-level pool terrace, and well-appointed rooms at competitive luxury prices.
Surfers Paradise
The newest luxury entrant to the Gold Coast market brings Langham's impeccable service standards and elegant design to a Surfers Paradise high-rise with ocean and hinterland views. The Infinity Pool at 54 floors is a genuine wow moment.
