Hyatt Hotels Corporation has announced plans to bring its luxury lifestyle brand, Andaz, to Australia with the opening of Andaz Gold Coast in mid-2025. The resort will be part of the expansive integrated development at The Star Gold Coast, a joint venture between The Star Entertainment Group, Far East Consortium, and Chow Tai Fook Enterprises. Designed by DBI Architects and Hachem, the hotel’s interiors will embody the theme "Chase the Sun," inspired by the dynamic lighting changes on the Gold Coast from sunrise to sunset.
“We are thrilled to announce plans to bring the Andaz brand to Australia’s premier resort destination in collaboration with The Star Gold Coast,” said David Udell, Group President, Asia Pacific, Hyatt. “Hyatt has had a brand presence in Australia for over 40 years, and we are excited to expand our luxury, lifestyle and leisure offerings into sought-after destinations like the Gold Coast. This resort will complement our current portfolio of 10 hotels under five distinct brands in Australia, including Park Hyatt, Grand Hyatt, Hyatt Regency, Hyatt Centric and Hyatt Place.”
Located on Broadbeach Island, Andaz Gold Coast will feature 202 guest rooms and suites, spread across floors six to 21 of a 65-story tower. Guests will enjoy access to a range of amenities, including three dining outlets, a fitness centre, and an outdoor pool deck with private cabanas and a beach club. The Andaz Lounge will offer a laid-back, all-day space for relaxation.
With proximity to beaches, rainforests, and key entertainment destinations, the resort is poised to offer an immersive experience that blends local culture with luxury. The property will mark the debut of the Andaz brand in Australia and the Pacific region.
The Star Gold Coast General Manager of Hotels Steve McPharlin said, “We are delighted to welcome Andaz Gold Coast to our world-class tourism and entertainment precinct. As part of The Star Gold Coast’s AU$2 billion masterplan, we are proud to continue our investment in this dynamic city while also providing new employment opportunities alongside vibrant hospitality experiences.”
