5-star waterfront hotel with a private marina and Australia's first water salon cabana

Accommodations & Design

The hotel offers 200 light-filled bedrooms and suites furnished with bespoke Italian pieces exclusive to the property. Each room includes a private bathroom with a separate shower and spa bath. The bathrooms feature marble mosaics and parquetry flooring, and guest rooms come with a seating area and a sun lounge area outside.

Dining & Entertainment

Award-winning restaurants on site include Il Barocco for Italian cuisine and Le Jardin for fine dining. The hotel runs a seafood buffet on Friday nights and a Sunday roast. Evening entertainment comes from live piano and bass players in the lobby bar, and a happy hour is held on Thursdays at the oyster bar.

Marina & Exclusive Features

A private 90-berth marina gives guests deep-water access and direct connection to the Gold Coast Seaway. The hotel operates Australia's first water salon cabana experience, an aquatic leisure cabana located in the lagoon pool. A dedicated Rolls-Royce ambassador service provides luxury transportation for hotel guests.

Wellness & Leisure

Guests have complimentary access to a state-of-the-art fitness and wellbeing center. The full-service on-site spa offers facial treatments, body scrubs, and massages. The outdoor lagoon pool includes a sandy beach entry, a pool bar, and sun loungers.

The hotel sits on the waterfront between Main Beach and the Gold Coast Broadwater, next to Marina Mirage shopping centre. Sea World theme park is a short drive from the property, and the Surfers Paradise restaurant hub is a few minutes away. The concierge team provides tour desk services, currency exchange, and valet parking with electric vehicle charging stations.

“The location on the Gold Coast waterfront is certainly impressive, and the Italian craftsmanship is evident, but some aspects require attention; a recent experience indicates that specific rooms and services may not consistently meet five-star expectations. While the glamour and fine dining are definite appeals, prospective guests might want to inquire about recent updates to ensure their stay aligns with the hotel's promise of luxury.”
