The City of Gold Coast located in Queensland, Australia combines it all: endless beaches with beautiful surf conditions, vibrant city life with countless cafés, restaurants and boutiques (Tiffany & Co recently opened!) and its Hinterland which invites you to go exploring off the beaten track.
Staying at the HILTON Surfer’s Paradise allows you to soak it all in at once, as you relax in your sky residence after a big day of exploring. The combination of 169 guest rooms and suites as well as 250 spacious self-contained residences has the perfect accommodation type for every traveller.
LOCATION
Thanks to its location in the heart of Surfer’s Paradise you will reach the kilometre-long white sandy beach after a only 2-min walk. Whether you enjoy going for morning beach runs or afternoon shopping sprees, it’s all just a short walk away. If you wish to venture further south towards Broadbeach, Miami and Burleigh Heads simply jump on the nearby G-Link, Gold Coast’s tram.
INTERIOR
When entering the 2-bedroom Sky Residence you will feel like you died and went to real estate heaven. The spacious living room with a fully-equipped kitchen invites to create home-cooked meals while watching the day go by like in a miniature wonderland 47 floors down. The bathrooms are all-white-everything – our minimalistic heart loves it! Enjoying a long, hot bath after with a glass of red wine is the perfect way to end an Australian winter’s day before slipping into what must be one of the comfiest beds ever.
EAT, DRINK, HILTON
After a night of the most relaxing sleep, you will literally have to force yourself leave your heavenly residence. However, you will discover a tasty breakfast buffet which will fuel you up for the big day of exploring ahead. Stock up on ltitle treats at the marketplace delicatessen The Food Store located in the lobby.
Fluffy pancakes, organic yoghurt with fresh fruits and muesli, barista-made coffee and French pastries (one has to splurge on holidays!) is only a fraction of what’s on offer, when you indulge in their wide selection of yummy breakfast options.
3 MUST DO’S ON THE GOLD COAST
- Eat an Açai Bowl in Burleigh Heads, before sitting on Burleigh Point and watching the famous surfers perform manoeuvres on the world-class wave, as the sun sets behind the skyline of Surfer’s Paradise.
- Go exploring in the Hinterland – climb Mount Warning, visit Springbrooks Waterfalls, take in the beautiful scenery at the “Best Of All” Lookout (yes, that is the real name!) – best to prepare for the hikes in Hilton’s complimentary 24hour gym and spa!
- Spend your well earned money at the recently renovated shopping paradise Pacific Fair in Broadbeach – Tiffany! Sephora! Dion Lee! You name it.
