PB hotel design editorial

Few hotels on the Gold Coast carry their era as confidently as QT Gold Coast — a brutalist tower on Surfers Paradise beachfront whose cylindrical balcony fins and white precast concrete frame announce its late-1960s origins before you're close enough to read the signage. The building, originally constructed as the Chevron Hotel and later operating as the Crowne Plaza, was reimagined under the QT Hotels & Resorts brand with interiors directed by Nic Graham & Associates, the Sydney-based studio responsible for the chain's signature approach: irreverent, pop-inflected, locally anchored. The 298-room property rises across 20-plus floors, the scalloped facade giving each level a rhythmic overhang that filters the Queensland sun while lending the tower its immediately recognisable silhouette against the Pacific. Inside, the design leans into the building's period bones rather than papering over them. Guest rooms deploy bold chevron-patterned carpets in charcoal and taupe, rattan pendant lights, and surf-culture artwork — vintage beach photography screen-printed onto linen cushions — against white-painted shiplap headboard panels that keep the palette from tipping into kitsch. The pool terrace, shot from overhead, reveals its strongest gesture: an arched pool mosaic tiled in teal and white stripes, framed by black-and-white cabana umbrellas that pull directly from 1960s Italian Riviera iconography. The restaurant continues in the same register — copper-stained coffered ceiling, olive green banquette seating, open shelving dressed with blue glass bottles — a space that manages to feel curated without feeling careful.

"We sopent a 3 day weekend here in late February. P. The hotel istelf was busy but comfortable. Nice beachy hip vibe. The Buffet breakfast, whilst not huge on choice was tasty and well re[ared. we had drinks at the br which wa spleasant and got busy on a Saturday night, but quieter other nghts. We used the pool. Nicely located and sunny, not age and got busy but we manage dto find sunloungers. If it was warmerand less busy, this might get difficult. The room was large enough with great views. Very comfortable bed. They probaby need to do a bit with the balcony door sealing as it rattled quite noisiy in the wind, but I managed to stop it rattling by jamming in some of their hotel postcards they left in the room into teh gaps-a sealing strip would help.The bathroom was mall but functional-nice shower. The sink was very narrow and the shelf above it jutte dout too far so you hit your head if putting mouuth under teh tap top rinse out your mouth when brushing teeh. The sinkw a svery very shallow and difficult to use for shaving..minor issue really, but whoever did the deisgn and specifie dteh bathroom fittings has obviously never stayed in a hotel room. Intersting tat tehy still have a minibar-we've recently come back from the US and most hotels of a similar style have ditched them. Nice and quirky selection of drinks and snacks, but expensive. The hotel is well loacted and 1 block from the beach and a 10 minute flat walk to Cavill avenue, the heart of surfers paradise. Our package included parking which would ahve been $30/night otherwise. The carpark was reasonably busy, but we had an EV rental and it was handy having 6 EV chargers in the top level of teh carpark, so we managed to park easily in one of those spaces. The staff were very helpful and frienddly. i rented one of tehir beach criser bicycles ($10/hr...most gotels in the US just gave then free to guests) and they had ebikes as well which were a bit more expensive. We enjoyed our stay and woud stay here again if at Surfers as we prefer a hotel to one of teh myriad of hotel/aprtments in enearby buildings"

"Just want to say we couldn’t get in here for our 10 year anniversary due to conference booking the venue out. Stayed at the Langham which was hugely disappointing . One of the best things about our trip was leaving the Langham in the morning booking a cabana for our anniversary and hanging out with the QT staff for the day . Had to back to the Langham but well fed and hydrated by then . Elite day as usual thanks again"

"Absolute fantastic stay at QT Gold Coast. The property is within easy walking distance to everything we intended to see. eg: Cavill Avenue. Our room was a king ocean view (with Balcony) which was clean and roomy. Our housekeeper Meilee was able to meet our request by placing a flat-sheet on our bed. The pool area got very busy during the day, sun loungers were as valuable as gold. However, that wasn't a problem for me, as I caught my sun-rays whilst sitting on our balcony chair. The buffet breakfast was included in our stay and it was AMAZING. From the staff to the quality of food = impeccable. At no time did we feel that the Cafe' was 'over-crowded'. We also ate in Stingrays - the food was fresh, very tasty and generous servings. Our stay was great value for money. In fact, we looked at booking the same deal later in the year. Two levels of self-parking area ensured plenty of availability. We also had a couples 1.5hr massage at QSpa which was bliss. The purpose of our trip was to celebrity my husbands birthday and, upon arriving into our room, we found a tray of sweets. Chocolates and cakes, which was a very nice touch. We look forward to visiting the team at QT Gold Coast later this year."
