The Star Gold Coast will be home to Australia’s first Andaz Hotel, set to open in mid-2025, under a new deal between Hyatt Hotels Corporation and Destination Gold Coast Consortium, Hyatt has announced.
Destination Gold Coast Consortium is a joint venture partnership between Star Entertainment Group and Hong Kong firms Far East Consortium and Chow Tai Fook Enterprises.
Andaz Gold Coast will be located in the second 65-story hotel and apartments tower that is currently under construction as part of The Star Gold Coast’s AU$2 billion (US$1.33 billion) master plan. It is not only the first Andaz to be located in Australia but the first in the entire Pacific region.
The hotel will occupy floors six to 21 of the tower, featuring 202 guest rooms and suites, a fitness center, three food and beverage outlets, and an expansive outdoor pool deck with a cocktail bar, a beach club with private cabanas and al fresco dining.
“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.”
The Star Gold Coast General Manager of Hotels, Steve McPharlin, added, “We are delighted to welcome Andaz Gold Coast to our world-class tourism and entertainment precinct. As part of The Star Gold Coast’s $2 billion masterplan, we are proud to continue our investment in this dynamic city while also providing new employment opportunities alongside vibrant hospitality experiences.”
