Accommodation

Qt Goldcoast

Good times and downtime collide in a perpetual state of bliss that is QT Gold Coast’s guest rooms. Plenty plush with Queenslander character, playful pops of colour and chic vintage vibes, the quintessential culture of the Coast is alive and well inside each of the 293 rooms.

Newly refurbished, rooms immerse guests in beach culture, tales and fashion through furnishings and fabrics. A black and white base contrasts with vibrant orange and fresh turquoise for a completely new look. And an element of boho chic is juxtaposed with modernised vintage imagery by Kate Ballis. Tech-forward and stylish touchpoints bring even more luxury. Bathrooms are stocked with Dyson Supersonic hairdryers and Kevin Murphy amenities, plus Missoni robes hang in every wardrobe. QT tablets offer a menu of extras and in-room dining at just a tap.

Seriously soft QT Dream beds and private balconies top it all off, providing impressive vista points, cityside or overlooking the ocean. In each room, a personal paradise awaits. So come on in, the air is salty and the design is fine.

All our rooms feature Kevin Murphy amenities, designer Missoni bathrobes, a Dyson Supersonic, Nespresso pods and T2 teas, QT Dream Beds and in room climate control via sensory technology.
