New MICE Resort for Queensland

The new JW Marriott Gold Coast Resort & Spa sets a new benchmark for luxury meetings and incentives destinations in Queensland.

Marking the debut of Marriott International’s JW Marriott brand in the Pacific region, the new JW Marriott Gold Coast Resort & Spa is located close to the Gold Coast’s iconic beaches and unspoiled hinterlands and offers discerning guests a sophisticated sanctuary in one of Australia’s most popular MICE destinations.

“We are excited to continue the growth of our luxury footprint and expand our brand portfolio in Australia with the opening of JW Marriott Gold Coast Resort & Spa,” says Sean Hunt, Area Vice President, Australia, New Zealand and Pacific, Marriott International. “Despite the challenges from ongoing international air travel restrictions, we have nevertheless seen strong demand within the luxury hospitality segment this year. We are greatly encouraged by this, and look forward to welcoming back local and international guests to experience the outstanding luxury and service of our newest property here in the beautiful Gold Coast.”

The new resort’s aesthetic is inspired by its natural surroundings, embodying the beauty and relaxed mood of coastal Queensland. The lobby and public spaces reflect a design narrative inspired by the surrounding landscapes. The 223 guestrooms and suites draw inspiration from their urban beachside context and are designed to appeal to the most discerning traveler. Rooms are open and spacious and feature thoughtful compositions of soft natural color palettes and materials.

JW Marriott Gold Coast Resort & Spa allows guests to relax, unwind and experience every pleasurable moment of their stay with unique features such as the brand’s signature Secret Spots, private nooks, and secluded spaces for quiet pauses and reflection. Guests can also participate in a series of five to 10-minute relaxation rituals and activities daily, such as guided meditation sessions, that will leave them feeling nourished and revitalized in body and soul.

The new Gold Coast property presents six new food and beverage venues that offer a diverse range of cuisines, locally sourced produce, and sophisticated bar menus. The signature restaurant Misono, inspired by the famous Harajuku laneways, offers an ‘avenue’ of Japanese dining experiences including an intimate Izakaya sushi bar, tearoom, and whisky bar with an outdoor terrace, while the all-day dining restaurant Citrique places fresh local produce and seafood at the heart of its menu and features a show kitchen where guests can enjoy live cooking presentations.

Forming part of Citrique, JW Market is the hotel’s café and provedore, serving freshly ground coffee and healthy grab-and-go bites. Located in the lobby, Chapter & Verse is a tranquil lounge by day and a sophisticated bar in the evenings, with indoor and outdoor seating for guests to enjoy handcrafted cocktails overlooking views of the spotlit lagoons and pool areas at night. The resort also highlights its commitment to naturally-inspired dining through its JW Garden, which offers fresh, local ingredients for authentic farm-to-table dining experiences, hands-on cooking classes, and specialty drinks.

Located minutes from the beach, the resort offers a refined coastal venue for memorable meetings and events with 2,000 square meters of function space, featuring ten scalable spaces for different event requirements. The pillarless 715 square-meter JW Ballroom features vehicle access, geared for large-scale exhibitions and product launches, whilst the junior ballroom, flooded with natural light and pool views, provides a stylish space for creative meetings and events.

Business travellers will enjoy the resort’s facilities, which include a saltwater lagoon and freshwater pool with Pool Bar, and a contemporary Spa by JW that offers thoughtfully customized treatments to provide a holistic approach to wellbeing.
