Beachfront chic at Mondrian Gold Coast.
Burleigh’s about to get brighter with the opening of Australia’s first Mondrian hotel on the Gold Coast.
Ever since the Mondrian brand opened in LA in 1996, it’s been characterised by its uber cool architecture that’s just the right side of minimalist, its knack of picking out emerging groovy neighbourhoods and a top-flight wellness dimension. Or if you believe the press release “each Mondrian emerges as a creative hive where the fantastical meets the future and dream-like spaces immerse guests in the culture of the place it inhabits, both in aesthetics and spirit.”

We don’t know exactly what that means either but what we do know as fact is that each of the 11 properties manage to retaining an idiosyncratic sense of identity as well as seamlessly sliding into their chosen hoods. It’s all rather simpatico.
Cali cool on the GC.
Their first hotel opening in Australia will span 24 storeys with both ocean and hinterland views over the Gold Coast. It’s broken up into studios, suites and – if you really love the place – homes you can live in all year round. The two- and three-bedroom beach houses look pretty spectacular. As does the Sky House on top of the hotel itself.
It’s airy and open at Mondrian Gold Coast.
Details are scant right now but we know there will be terrace restaurant looking out to the ocean and Burleigh’s vibey beach scene as well as a third floor restaurant and pool club and spa.

“Australia has long been a strategic focus for Mondrian’s growth, and the Gold Coast was a focal point thanks to its phenomenal natural setting, rich cultural landscape, and vibrant social scene. Over the last couple of years, we have seen a rising demand for lifestyle brands, where locals and international guests are looking for authentic, creative and immersive experiences – all the hallmarks of the Mondrian brand. It felt a natural choice to bring Mondrian to the Gold Coast and we believe it will resonate strongly with the local market and lend something entirely new to the hospitality space”, says Chadi Farhat, Brand COO Mondrian Hotels & Residences.
