Live It Up In An Idyllic Location
Perfectly positioned on the doorstep of Gold Coast’s sugar-white sand beaches, and encased by Broadbeach’s award-winning eateries—Dorsett will tick all your boxes when it comes to location.
Situated in the heart of The Star Island, the casino and its numerous amenities are just steps away, plus you’re across the road from shopping heaven at Pacific Fair. The open-air shopping destination boasts over 400 stores—from Myer and David Jones to Mecca, Gucci, and Zara.
Laze Poolside
There are hotel pools, then there’s Dorsett’s Isoletto Pool Club. Sun-soaked and looking like a scene straight out of the Med, this sprawling oasis boasts a jaw-dropping 12-metre-long viewing wall, with stunning vistas overlooking Broadbeach. Once you’ve floated your stresses away, recline on the chic cabanas or stay cool on the wet lounges.
But perhaps our fave part? The poolside bar slinging spritzes and snacks. Think towering club sandwiches, crisp Caesar salads and creamy gelato. It’s holiday vibes personified.
Devour Incredible Eats
Speaking of food, it wouldn’t be a proper holiday unless you went ham on in-room dining. Fortunately, Dorsett is seriously stacked in that area, with 24-hour feeds on tap from a range of The Star Gold Coast’s participating restaurants. Want eggs benny in bed first thing? No worries. Authentic dumplings or melt-in-your-mouth steak in the arvo? Absolutely!
Should you want to slink out of your plush robe and slippers, head to level one and recline on the plush lounges at Jin Cafe & Bar. In the morning they serve up mouth-watering pastries with your daily coffee, and in the afternoon witness its transformation into a sleek cocktail bar with delicious sips. Pro tip: pair your martini with one of their grazing boards loaded with fine cheeses and cured meats.
Bliss Out In Stylish Rooms
Whether you’re looking for a romantic getaway, an escape with your mates or a retreat for one, Dorsett's beautifully appointed rooms will not disappoint.
There’s 313 stylish modern rooms, complete with luxe, modern furnishings, high-speed Wi-Fi, and 11/10 views. There’s something for every budget—and group size—starting with the standard king room (with accessible options) and going all the way up to a deluxe king panoramic room and an executive king corner room. Plus, all deluxe and exec rooms include private balconies.
Go Luxe In The Executive Lounge
If you really want to treat yo’self during your stay (you do), book one of the executive rooms to score 24-hour access to Dorsett’s Executive Lounge. Sitting pretty on the 19th floor, this sprawling space offers some of the best views of the GC—from the golden beaches and glittering skyline, all the way out to the hinterland.
From 6:30am to 10am daily, make your way to the lounge and feast on a delicious buffet brekky, complete with flaky pastries, eggs, fruit, coffee and smoothies. From 5pm to 6:30pm, drinks begin to flow with bubbles, beer and wine on tap, plus tasty bites like oysters, cheese boards, macarons and sushi. Grab a vino and a plate of canapes, recline on a lounge, and settle in for one of the best sunsets you’ll ever witness.
