In recent years, the Gold Coast has attracted a number of world-class hotels and resorts to its shores, with some impressive names in the pipeline including The Ritz-Carlton, St. Regis Hotels & Resorts and Hyatt’s Andaz brand, to name just a few. One of the most exciting additions to the southern Gold Coast, however, is no longer just a future vision – it’s set to become a reality in a matter of weeks. Mondrian Gold Coast is set to open this June, bringing the globally renowned lifestyle brand to Australian shores for the first time. Here’s what you can expect …
Situated along The Esplanade, this striking 24-floor hotel, designed by Fraser & Partners, will be Mondrian’s flagship Australian destination, adding a bold new dimension to the Burleigh skyline. Since debuting in Los Angeles in 1996, Mondrian has expanded to cultural hotspots around the globe, with its first Gold Coast location set to continue that legacy in spectacular style, offering guests an immersive, design-led experience.
Epitomising coastal luxury, Mondrian Gold Coast will feature 208 spacious accommodations, including 132 studios, 76 suites, two- and three-bedroom homes and the hotel-crowning Sky House. Many will offer full kitchens, open-plan living and dining areas, ensuites and panoramic views of the ocean, Burleigh headland or hinterland.
Heralding a first in Australia’s luxury hotel scene, there will also be two- and three-bedroom Beach Houses that will offer an elevated beachside-living experience. Set across two floors, each Beach House features a plunge pool and terrace with beach access from The Esplanade, along with dining for up to twelve people. The two-and-three-bedroom Beach Houses can also be seamlessly combined to create a five-bedroom Beach House, perfect for families and larger groups.
As always, our attention is firmly on the culinary offering, and Mondrian Gold Coast is set to deliver in spades. On the ground floor will be LiTO, a vibrant all-day coastal Italian restaurant and bar, blending elevated simplicity with relaxed Burleigh charm from morning till night. Upstairs, on the third floor, will be Haven. Drawing inspiration from the world’s top beach clubs, Haven will combine refined coastal dining with laid-back poolside vibes. Expect a selection of fresh line-caught seafood, wood-fired proteins and a drinks list that includes reimagined beachside classics, world-class Champagnes, locally sourced wines and a curated Agave collection. Haven will also boast a roster of live performances by up-and-coming and national acts.
Rounding out Mondrian Gold Coast’s offering is CIEL Spa, a dedicated wellness floor offering cutting-edge bio-wellness therapies and restorative treatments, a magnesium-infused resort pool, contemporary 24/7 fitness centre and plenty of events spaces.
Mondrian Gold Coast is set to open in June. Bookings are now open with rates starting from $749 in a Studio King.
