Lock In A Weekend Of Coastal Walks, Poolside Hangs And Epic Discounts At This Gold Coast Hotel

Temps might be dropping across Australia, but someone forgot to tell the Gold Coast—sun-drenched days are forecast all winter long, making it the perfect place for a cheeky weekender. And what makes a vacay even sweeter? A tasty discount at one of the country’s most epic hotels,  Dorsett Gold Coast—AKA our fave place to stay on the GC.

That’s right, grab your lover, round up your fave travel buddies, or treat yourself to a solo sojourn up north, because Dorsett Gold Coast is offering wanderlust-seekers up to 25% off their best flexible room.

And if you become a Dorsett rewards member (it's free to join), you can snag an extra 12% off—that’s up to 37% off your winter vacay. Simply book by 31 August and you could be blissing out poolside, cocktail in hand, any time from 23 May to 24 December. 

Not familiar with Dorsett Gold Coast? Let us set the scene. A 30-minute drive from the airport and set within the Star Gold Coast leisure and entertainment precinct in buzzing Broadbeach, Dorsett’s location is primo. Just a short stroll from sugar white sand beaches, drool-worthy culinary offerings, and Queenslands’s biggest shopping centre, Pacific Fair, your holiday agenda is going to be stacked. 

But with sprawling modern rooms—decked out in plush furnishings, modern amenities and boasting views from the golden coastline out to the lush hinterland—you’d be forgiven for not wanting to leave Dorsett Gold Coast at all. 

Upon checking in, settle into a sunshine state of mind by heading directly to the the Isoletto Pool Club where you’ll be transported directly to the Med. Perched on level six, wet lounges and cabanas fringe a stunning pool, complete with a 12-metre-long viewing wall overlooking Broadbeach. Thirsty? Hungry? The pool club’s restaurant and bar slings spritzes and snacks straight to your table, or pool lounge—yep, the vibes are high here. 

Still hungry? Grab a charcuterie board and cocktail at Jin Cafe & Bar, or stroll over to The Star Casino or Darling for award-winning, hatted restaurants and vibrant bars. Post-food coma, book yourself a decadent massage or dreamy facial at Azzure Spa & Fitness and thank us later. 

Pro tip: upgrade your stay by checking into one of the executive rooms, and you’ll score access to Dorsett’s exclusive Executive Lounge. Set high up on the 19th floor, you’ll not only snag stellar vistas of the Coast, but you’ll be treated to a deluxe buffet brekky, while in the evenings you can soak up the sunset with complimentary tipples and canapés.
