The AU$700 million (US$723 million) Hilton Surfers Paradise complex on Queensland’s Gold Coast has officially opened its doors, becoming the first Hilton property in the country to offer a combination of guest rooms and holiday residences.
Martin Rinck, Hilton Worldwide’s President for Asia Pacific, said; “Hilton Surfers Paradise is our eighth Hilton-branded property in Australia, and is a significant milestone for the tourism industry in the Gold Coast being the first new upscale, global hotel to be built in the Gold Coast in over 10 years. We are delighted to continue to grow the footprint of Hilton Worldwide in this important market.”
David Horton, Global Head for the Hilton Hotels & Resorts brand, added; “Hilton Surfers Paradise presents a range of unique accommodation, dining and meeting options. Apart from appealing to the leisure traveller, we believe that the hotel will also contribute to the growth of the meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions (MICE) industry in the area.”
The hotel offers a total of 169 guest rooms and 250 one-, two- and three-bedroom residences. David Kelly, the hotel’s GM commented that the complex was specifically designed in response to the demand for more flexible and spacious holiday options in the area.
“The facilities at Hilton Surfers Paradise are so diverse that you can enjoy time with your family in the comfort of a spacious residence one weekend, and return another time as a couple for a romantic break and enjoy the serenity of a guest room,” Kelly said.
“Our self-contained residences include full kitchens, laundry facilities, as well as separate living and dining spaces, and are ideal for families, groups or anyone looking beyond the traditional hotel for superb accommodation. Guests at our residences also have access to all the services of the hotel including in-room dining, mini bar, daily housekeeping, valet parking, 24-hour reception and concierge,” he added.
Hilton Surfers Paradise features a range of F&B facilities, including the Salt grill by Luke Mangan, the FIX lounge bar, and The Food Store – a gourmet marketplace and European-style delicatessen. Other facilities include an ‘eforea: spa at Hilton’, and a 1,500-square metre area called ‘The Deck’, which features four swimming pools, sauna, private day beds, shaded picnic areas, an outdoor terrace, and BBQ pavilions.
For the MICE market, the hotel includes a 350-pax capacity ballroom and a Hilton Executive Lounge that offers 270-degree views of the Gold Coast.
