Vibe Hotel Gold Coast is set to unveil a multi-million dollar refurbishment in time for the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games™ that will position it as the most desirable new stay on the coast. The hotel now offers the best of both worlds: beautiful new spaces and an ideal location in the heart of Surfers Paradise, within walking distance to the region’s famous beaches, shopping and nightlife, with views of the picturesque Nerang River.
All of the hotel’s 199 spacious rooms have a contemporary new design that embraces the elements of the hotel’s surroundings. The colour palette represents the transitional journey from the hinterland, through sand and surf out to the turquoise waters and beyond. The design is brought to life through “pops” of colour that are representative of the vibrant atmosphere for which the Gold Coast is renowned.
The new-look lobby and arrival area are inspired by a beach house design, with traditional panelled walls decorated with Malibu boards and surfboard inspired furnishings, all centred around the driftwood reception counter that provides guests with a true sense of the locale.
The new open-air dining area, Driftwood Social, is the new player on the local dining scene, and has an exciting retro Miami pool club feel that will reinvigorate the hotel’s swimming pool and riverfront area, offering a chilled out ambience.
Driftwood Social offers private poolside cabanas and a riverfront retro-themed surf bar with various “eat, drink, chill” zones from which to enjoy a selection of modern and retro classic cocktails or a refreshing beer or wine. A fresh, vibrant menu captures the mood of every occasion and is designed to cater for social moments with friends or relaxed time alone.
Driftwood Social will be the Gold Coast’s new weekend social haunt for guests and locals. Early risers can enjoy a healthy breakfast and barista coffee on the riverfront or try the Driftwood Signature Breakfast Burrito and a Bloody Mary to kick start the day. As the day warms up, so does Driftwood Social. What better place to catch a famous Gold Coast sunset before Driftwood Social transforms into relaxed yet sophisticated club lounge, providing an escape from the buzzing local night life.
TFE Hotels CEO Rachel Argaman said the refurbishment would position the hotel as the most exciting new hotel destination for the Games in April.
“The Games are set to give the region’s tourism industry an unprecedented boost, drawing hundreds of thousands of visitors to the city over a very short period of time,” she said. “It’s a great opportunity for guests to discover everything the Vibe Hotels brand has to offer and we want to make the most of the opportunity, increasing the hotel’s appeal and presenting it in its best possible light.”
“The fact that the brand focuses on wellness and connectivity is a beautiful fit, making Vibe Hotel Gold Coast a logical choice for those coming to watch and be part of one of the world’s biggest sporting events.”
