New standard of luxury

JW Marriott hotels are rebranding the iconic Surfers Paradise Marriott Resort and Spa into the JW Marriott Gold Coast Resort & Spa following a $35 million refurbish.

Set to open in December this year, let’s hope we might be allowed over the border to experience this “new standard of luxury”.

There will be a total of 223 rooms with ocean or hinterland views, six food and beverage venues featuring a Japanese whisky bar.

The resort’s main restaurant will feature a new interactive show kitchen, placing fresh local produce at the heart of its daily menu. Forming part of Citrique, JW Marketplace is the hotel’s café and in-house provedore, serving freshly ground coffees, local produce and healthy and tasty grab-and-go bites. Misono, the resort’s teppanyaki restaurant, will expand to incorporate an ‘avenue’ of new Japanese dining experiences including an intimate Izakaya, tearoom and sushi bar.
