Hyatt Announces Plans for First Andaz Hotel in Australia

Hyatt Hotels Corporation has announced that Hyatt has entered into agreements with Destination Gold Coast Consortium for an Andaz resort in Gold Coast, Australia. Destination Gold Coast Consortium is a joint venture between parent company, The Star Entertainment Group, and its two partners, Far East Consortium and Chow Tai Fook Enterprises. Andaz Gold Coast will be part of an integrated resort masterplan, The Star Gold Coast. Slated to open in mid-2025, the hotel will mark the debut of luxury lifestyle brand Andaz in Australia and the Pacific region.

The Star Gold Coast General Manager of Hotels Steve McPharlin said, “As part of The Star Gold Coast’s AU$2 billion (approximately US$1.33 billion) masterplan, we are proud to continue our investment in this dynamic city while also providing new employment opportunities alongside vibrant hospitality experiences.”

The Andaz brand has close to 30 global properties, including in gateway cities such as Tokyo, Singapore, New York and London, and resort destinations like Bali and Maui

Andaz Gold Coast will be located at The Star Gold Coast, an exclusive mixed-use development on Broadbeach Island. It offers easy access to sandy beaches, rainforests, and theme parks. Guests can indulge in various recreational, dining, and entertainment options within the integrated complex. Upscale shopping at the nearby Pacific Fair Shopping Centre and direct connectivity to the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre further enhance the appeal for guests.

Occupying floors six to 21 of the 65-story second tower, the hotel will feature 202 guestrooms and suites, a fitness center and three food and beverage outlets. Overlooking Broadbeach, the expansive outdoor pool deck on level six will be a destination hotspot with a cocktail bar, a beach club with private cabanas and al fresco dining. The Andaz Lounge will offer a relaxed and inviting all-day space for guests to enjoy a drink or snack. 

The architecture by Australian design firm DBI Architects will be matched with contemporary interiors by Australian design firm Hachem. Once fully open, The Star Gold Coast will be one of Australia’s largest integrated multi-tower resorts.
