Tourist in my Town: The Star Gold Coast accommodation

The newly renovated hotel at the The Star Gold Coast in Broadbeach is every bit impressive as it is luxurious.

From the service to the decor, you can tell a lot of thought and money has been put into the running of The Star Grand which sit above the well-known Gold Coast casino.

With multiple dining options, swimming pools, and bars, The Star Gold Coast is an ideal weekend escape for both families and couples. Located opposite Pacific Fair shopping centre and only a few blocks back from the sand, there is plenty to do within walking distance of the hotel. The Star Theatre hosts live music and performances, so you won't need to leave the resort to find something to entertain you for the evening. If you fancy dinner and a show you could head next door to Dracula's for something a little different. Broadbeach itself hosts a lot of music and arts festivals throughout the year, so check out the events list before you book.

Once you have checked into your room, head down to the Garden Bar for an afternoon drink or two on the lawn. There are often events and pop-ups at the outdoor bar inspired by your favourite tipples. After a quick swim in the pool, don your evening best and head up to level 19 for sundowners at Nineteen at the Star, get a great view of Broadbeach as the sun sets over the hinterland.

Grab a bite to eat at the Imperial Restaurant, offering a modern take on Mandarin and Cantonese dishes; or perhaps taste the Italian delicacies at Cucina Vivo. After dinner, stop by the casino and try your luck at one of the gaming tables or while the night away at Cherry Bar with local DJs providing epic weekend soundtracks.

After a refreshing sleep in your luxury hotel room, feast your eyes on the breakfast buffet served in the Harvest restaurant. Grab a table outside overlooking the pool and work your way around the buffet at a leisurely pace. Let your breakfast settle and then book in for a treatment at the Azure Spa or perhaps treat yourself to some retail therapy at Pacific Fair shopping centre, which is right next door.
