About Andaz Gold Coast

Andaz means “personal style”—and our culinary vision is no exception. Opening in mid-2026, Andaz Gold Coast will set a new benchmark for lifestyle luxury in Australia. Set across floors six to 21, the hotel features 202 luxurious rooms and suites; the Coast’s largest pool deck club; a stunning and substantial Mediterranean restaurant and vibrant, design-led spaces that celebrate local culture and craft.

Our FB playground:

Andaz Pool Club: the Coast’s largest pool deck club with private cabanas and al fresco diningMediterranean Brasserie Bar: sun-washed flavour, grill and coastal classics from key regions will be totally reimagined, with nothing of its kind in the areaHinterland Bar: bold cocktails, local spirits, low no options, and refined bar snacksMorning Bar: a high-energy ritual for body, mind and soul—coffee, juices, wellness-led bites

In room dining: all the classics in mind with a few hits from our venues, with a substantial wellbeing menu on offer

Note: this is a rooms-led hotel with no major event spaces; experiences and outlets are the heroes, while some events will be held within our outlets and bespoke locations.
