About Andaz Gold Coast

Andaz means "personal style" in Hindi. But it means much more than that. It's about who you are, fully. Your personal essence, your being. It's about what makes you unique and having the freedom to pursue it. At Andaz hotels, we see our namesake as a calling to provide space for those looking to find and express their andaz.

Andaz hotels are "design reimagined" with fluid spaces and inspiring social spaces that break down barriers. Every Andaz is an extension of its surrounding neighbourhood with artfully crafted guest rooms boasting imaginative interiors, artwork and amenities that reflect local sensibilities.

Opening in late 2025, set across floors six to 21 of a striking 65-story tower, the Andaz Gold Coast will boast 202 luxurious guest rooms and suites, a state-of-the-art fitness centre, and three distinct food and beverage venues. The outdoor pool deck on level six is set to become a popular destination, featuring a cocktail bar, a beach club offering private cabanas, and al fresco dining options.
