With its striking, modern design it’s clear that QT Gold Coast aims to stick out from the crowd in Surfers Paradise, a goal it fully achieves. This colourful hotel has almost 300 rooms, in a variety of sizes and styles, but all decorated with a quirky sense of cool that’s Instagram ready. The hotel also features a spa, buffet, sushi and teppanyaki restaurants, a bar, outdoor pool, tennis courts, free bicycles and more. While it’s close to much of the action outside, you really don’t need to leave to have a good time.
