Imperial Hotel Gold Coast is a luxury waterfront stay on the Gold Coast, with the hotel describing its setting between the Pacific Ocean and the Gold Coast Broadwater. Its accommodation includes 200 light-filled bedrooms and suites, with rooms and suites overlooking the marina. The location is positioned for access to beaches, shopping, theme parks and other Gold Coast attractions, while the hotel itself is presented as a quieter retreat for guests returning from a day out.
The stay extends beyond the rooms. Guests can dine at Il Barocco Restaurant, which focuses on seasonal flavours and local produce, or visit Le Jardin for the hotel’s signature high tea and martinis. The Couture High Tea is a standout experience, created with Executive Pastry Chef Grant Turner and his pastry team. It includes finger sandwiches, freshly baked scones with traditional accompaniments, pastries and sweet creations, with tea, coffee, sparkling wine or champagne options available. High tea is served daily from 11am to 4pm, with smart casual dress requested.
For a more relaxed afternoon, the hotel’s Cabana Collection offers private poolside cabanas for in-house guests. The packages combine full-day cabana hire with options such as prosecco, cocktails, sparkling wine or champagne, alongside confirmed inclusions including oysters, pizza, fruit and grazing items depending on the package. The poolside setting is designed for downtime, with airy drapes creating a more private retreat. Other experiences include spa treatments, accommodation enhancements and chauffeur transfers in one of the hotel’s twin Rolls-Royce Phantoms.
Imperial Hotel Gold Coast suits travellers looking for an accommodation base with dining and leisure experiences in the same destination. Couples may find the high tea, waterfront setting and curated experiences well suited to a special occasion, while groups can be accommodated for high tea in Il Barocco when bookings reach 12 or more. The venue also offers seasonal events, live music and themed celebrations, giving returning guests and locals reasons to visit beyond an overnight stay. With its combination of marina-facing accommodation, formal dining, poolside relaxation and concierge assistance for Gold Coast attractions, it is aimed at guests who want a polished stay with plenty available on site.
