Fodor's Expert Review QT Gold Coast
7 Staghorn Ave., Surfers Paradise, Queensland, 4217, Australia
One of Queensland's most popular destination hotels, this vibrant retro-meets-modern resort boasts 360-degree views of the beach and hinterland, on-site restaurants and bars, and enough quirk and energy to make it stand brightly apart. Just a few minutes from Surfers' main beach, QT has a range of ocean and mountain view rooms and suites, where colorful designer furniture is complemented by luxury fittings, and thoughtful local touches like beach bags and flip-flops. Dining options include marketplace-style Bazaar, Japanese eatery Yamagen, and the health-focused café Fixx. For an extra treat, head down to SpaQ on Level 1, where massage, facials, skin treatments and a hammam sauna bring you to cloud nine.
