New Opening: The Langham, Gold Coast in Australia’s Surfer’s Paradise
by Daniel McCarthy /Langham Hospitality Group this week opened its newest property, The Langham, Gold Coast, the first new luxury property with direct beach access to the Gold Coast in over three decades.
“It’s been worth the wait to bring The Langham brand and its legendary hospitality and heritage to this rare and desirable oceanfront location on the Gold Coast,” said Brett Butcher, Chief Executive Officer, Langham Hospitality Group. “Against a backdrop of Australia’s most spectacular coastline, The Langham offers sophisticated yet playful one-of-a-kind destination adventures that guests will remember for years to come.”
The hotel sits between Surfers Paradise and Broadbeach, two iconic surfing towns on the country’s east coast just south of Brisbane and a little over 500 miles north of Sydney. The property is not far from the area’s farmer’s markets, local vineyards, and world-class shopping venues.
In total, the hotel features 330 suites and rooms, all with balconies that offer uninterrupted views of the area’s beaches, waves, and landscape.

Outside of those views and the beach outside, the hotel includes two lagoon pools with infinity edges that drop off into the Pacific Ocean.
For food and drink, the hotel offers a number of restaurants including Langham’s signature Palm Court; T’ang Court, a three-star Michelin Cantonese restaurant that offers dim sum; Akoya, an all-day casual buffet; Coral Moon, a destination cocktail bar that will open later this year in Australian spring; and the 26 & Sunny café that overlooks the beach.
