Queensland’s Gold coastline is one of those locations where people see to discover fun, relaxation, something a bit different as well as to cut a bit loose. There’s lots of all of these things here, however to discover them all in one place? Impossible, I hear you say… however is it really?
The QT Gold Coast at the northern end of Surfers Paradise is a excellent choice if you’re staying in the Gold Coast. the very best thing about this hotel is it’s extremely much style oriented.
Unlike great deals of hotels that all look as well as feel similar when you’re inside, QT has worked truly difficult to stand out. You no longer feel like a clone in a generic anonymous hotel here. It’s extremely refreshing.
And it’s the bit details that make the most significant difference.
Starting with the lobby, as soon as you walk in you notice the personnel uniforms are extremely cute. The women are in smooth grey as well as red jumpsuits with rockabilly hair as well as makeup while the men all don Hawaiian shirts.
Help yourself to a totally free cup of ‘hotel-made’ lemonade while you’re waiting to inspect in.
The spaces are all beautifully decked out in similar detail. things like the white cockatoo lamp as well as the pineapple candle holder – all of which you can purchase in the gift shop ‘QTique’ downstairs – provide the spaces a friendly, even homely appeal.
The minibar is surprisingly cost effective as well as the beds are incredibly comfortable.
All spaces are either provided a view of the Narang River as well as the mountains or the ocean. certainly the ocean view is much more desirable, however sunset over the mountains is quite great too.
For relaxation, there’s certainly the hotel pool. It even has a swim-up bar, however be warned, it’s only offered in the summer. We were there in winter season (still warm sufficient to swim) however we as well as our good friend Carly from Smaggle were dissatisfied not to be able to ‘aqua-drink’.
There’s likewise the in-house health spa ‘spaQ’ (pronounced ‘spar-cue’ not ‘spack’ as I very first thought). Go get a full body massage, a mani, pedi, or a full-on 2-½-hour treatment bundle as well as come out floating.
If you want to cut loose, get stuck into the bar at Stingray. things get a bit wild on a Friday as well as Saturday night so brace yourself for that. Here’s our evaluation on Stingray.
For food, make sure you get space service at least when while you’re at QT Gold Coast. Their burgers are sensational.
Otherwise choose a extremely empty tummy to Bazaar. It’s in the exact same area as that outstanding breakfast is served. market is the QT’s ‘interactive marketplace’ where you can quite much eat nevertheless much of whatever you can find!
There’s whatever from cooked-to-order steamed dumplings to slow-cooked beef cheeks as well as a million things in between. The drinks menu’s not poor either… however a word to the wise: the bar’s extremely little as well as commonly under-staffed. If the restaurant’s busy, be prepared to wait a bit for your drinks.
But what truly makes the QT a excellent location to stay is its staff. Everyone’s truly helpful, very friendly as well as they truly go out of their method to make your time there as great as it potentially can be.
A quick note on space choices:
Most of the time, you’d want the greatest possible room, right? Well, indeed as well as no. Anything under about level 7 as well as you’ll hear air con units 24/7 even with the windows closed. however go to the top 4 floors as well as you won’t have gain access to to a balcony or be able to open the windows. just so you know.
