Broadwater masterpiece

“Once opened, the resort expects to set a new benchmark for luxury on Australia’s Gold Coast with the property’s enviable waterfront location.”

This sentiment was echoed by Giannarelli Group Chief Executive Officer, Dion Giannarelli. “The Gold Coast has always been Australia’s most prestigious playground.

“When completed, The Ritz-Carlton, Gold Coast anticipates elevating the city’s tourism pedigree to an entirely new level of energy and quality, redefining Main Beach and The Spit.”

“With the attention to detail and highest quality finishes we are applying to the project, we are confident The Ritz-Carlton, Gold Coast will be one of the world’s finest luxury resorts.”

Ross Pelligra, Chairman at Pelligra Group added, “We are exceptionally excited to embark on this journey with Marriott International to bring The Ritz-Carlton brand to the Gold Coast.

“A luxury hotel development like this will draw in more tourism spending from across the globe and fuel the local economy. The Ritz-Carlton, Gold Coast is set to be an iconic landmark not only for the Gold Coast but for Australia’s hospitality sector.”

Situated in the heart of Mariner’s Cove on the Broadwater side of The Spit, The Ritz-Carlton, Gold Coast will be a gateway to some of the city’s most popular tourist attractions, including a host of waterfront restaurants and bars, the Broadwater, and expanses of famed white sand beaches.

Expected to feature 150 elegantly appointed guest rooms and suites, including a planned 275-square-metre Ritz-Carlton Suite, the hotel anticipates offering the legendary hotel experience the global brand is known for.

Guests will also be able to experience refined dining establishments, with a signature restaurant featuring semi-opened kitchens, cafe, and three bars including a Lobby Lounge, destination bar and poolside bar. An outdoor rooftop pool, fitness centre and signature Ritz-Carlton Spa will deliver innovative and revitalising wellness experiences to leisure guests.

With plans calling for 587 square metres of function space, including a 512-square-metre ballroom, and 261-square-metres of outdoor pre-function space, the hotel will cater to meetings and events for large corporate gatherings or intimate private groups.

“The Ritz-Carlton, Gold Coast will mark the third Marriott International property on the Gold Coast, joining our existing hotels JW Marriott Gold Coast Resort & Spa and Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort Gold Coast,” said Marriott International’s Area Vice President for Australia, NZ, and Pacific, Sean Hunt.

“It is a momentous signing, not only for our growing Gold Coast portfolio, where Marriott dominates the luxury accommodation offering, but for the expansion of the Ritz-Carlton brand in Australia.”

The brand first relaunched with The Ritz-Carlton, Perth in 2019, and The Ritz-Carlton, Melbourne is slated to open its doors in early 2023.

On the water adjacent to the new Ritz Carlton Gold Coast, the Main Beach Superyacht Marina (MBSM) stretches approximately 105 metres along the calm Broadwater, with a capacity up to 70 luxury superyachts across 2.8 hectares of seabed.
