Drawing inspiration from the beautiful coastal views of Broadbeach Island, the lush vegetation of the hinterland, and the calming ocean waves, HBA designers sought to achieve harmony between the hotel’s interiors and its surrounding environment through a fresh, sophisticated, and relaxing overall design aesthetic.

Subtle references to lapping ocean waves and abstracted underwater scenes are woven into the design narrative of the lobby, guest room artwork, and watercolour-like wall coverings in the public areas to establish a true sense of place.

“Our vision for the design of Dorsett Gold Coast was one of unapologetic playfulness, whimsy, and soothing tranquillity, yet modern and authentic for the sun-seeking traveller. We used an interplay of colour, texture, and pattern to create a spirited, naturalistic interpretation of the locale, with a sense of welcoming invitation from the moment guests walk through the front doors.”
