Integrated resort masterplan
The hotel group has entered into agreements with Destination Gold Coast Consortium to develop the hotel as part of an integrated resort masterplan, The Star Gold Coast.
The Star Gold Coast will be an exclusive mixed-use development on Broadbeach Island, one of the Gold Coast’s most famed beaches. Once fully open, The Star Gold Coast will be one of Australia’s largest integrated multi-tower resorts.
Broadbeach is also located close to major tourist hotspots, such as the Pacific Fair Shopping Centre and Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre.
Occupying floors six to 21 of the 65-story second tower, the hotel will feature 202 guest rooms and suites, a fitness centre and three food and beverage outlets.
Overlooking Broadbeach, the expansive outdoor pool deck on level six has been designed to become a destination hotspot with a cocktail bar, a beach club with private cabanas and al fresco dining.
The Andaz Lounge, a signature touchpoint at Andaz hotels, will offer a relaxed and inviting all-day space for guests to enjoy a drink or snack.
Architecture has been commandeered by Australian design firm DBI Architects, and will be matched with contemporary interiors by award-winning Australian design firm Hachem.
An Australian debut
The hotel will mark the debut of the luxury lifestyle brand Andaz in Australia and the Pacific region.
“We are thrilled to announce plans to bring the Andaz brand to Australia’s premier resort destination in collaboration with The Star Gold Coast,” said David Udell, group president, Asia Pacific, Hyatt.
“Hyatt has had a brand presence in Australia for over 40 years, and we are excited to expand our luxury, lifestyle and leisure offerings into sought-after destinations like the Gold Coast. This resort will complement our current portfolio of 10 hotels under five distinct brands in Australia, including Park Hyatt, Grand Hyatt, Hyatt Regency, Hyatt Centric and Hyatt Place.”
The Star Gold Coast General Manager of Hotels Steve McPharlin said, “We are delighted to welcome Andaz Gold Coast to our world-class tourism and entertainment precinct. As part of The Star Gold Coast’s AU$2 billion (approximately US$1.33 billion) masterplan, we are proud to continue our investment in this dynamic city while also providing new employment opportunities alongside vibrant hospitality experiences.”
