The Island Boutique Hotel

The Verdict

There’s a lot to love about The Island, Gold Coast's newest boutique hotel offering. From the stylish reception area with its eclectic mix of classic couches and leather armchairs, lamps and blonde timber detailing, to the functional hotel rooms and suites with their vogue colour scheme, matte black bathroom fixtures and city and ocean views. 

The Island's poolside courtyard has a holiday vibe with pops of colour in the mosaic-topped tables and woven bistro chairs, rattan pendant lights and potted greenery, alongside cherry pop beach umbrellas and loungers lining the pool. There are plans for a pool bar to be added in time for summer and we can already picture this zone a-buzz with breakfast diners sipping lattes in the sunshine.

Guests and day visitors are welcome to enjoy The Island's hip Italian-inspired restaurant and adjoining bar, open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, seven days. Though the fun doesn’t end there. Home to the Gold Coast’s biggest rooftop bar and sprawling alfresco patio, The Island Rooftop is bringing the cool back to the tourist precinct’s after-dark scene with DJs, a retro-styled cocktail bar, ample seating, nooks and one of the best Sunday sessions on the Coast.
