First Airport Hotel Opens on Aussie Gold Coast

The new 192-room Rydges Gold Coast Airport hotel is set to open its doors as the first and only airport hotel on the Gold Coast.

Located a one minute walk from the Gold Coast International Terminal, five minutes from Bilinga and Kirra Beaches, and a short drive from Surfers Paradise and the popular hub of Byron Bay, the new mid-market property is uniquely placed to serve as an airport-style hotel, while also appealing to the needs of the leisure market.

The new hotel features well-appointed Deluxe, Premium and Executive rooms over seven levels, with facilities to accommodate short and long stays and the varying needs of corporate travellers. The hotel has been designed to reflect the unique lifestyle of the Gold Coast, with themed murals and artworks that bring to life elements of the Sunshine State, from local flora to the famous surf beaches and the iconic Gold Coast skyline.
