Andaz Gold Coast 2026 Opening: What Parents Should Book?

A Sun-Chasing Broadbeach Base (And How To Book)

The Gold Coast already knows how to do sunshine, theme parks, and a sandy morning. What it has been waiting on is a design-led hotel that feels local, not copied-and-pasted from another city.

Andaz Gold Coast is the first Andaz in Australia and the Pacific, landing on Casino Drive in Broadbeach with 202 rooms, a Level 6 Pool Club, and fire-led dining at Nove.

  • Reservations are open now for stays from Monday, December 14, 2026 — handy if you are planning a Christmas, New Year, or mid-year school-holiday run from Asia.
  • Book the opening window if the dates work. A Grand Opening Offer takes 20% off eligible rates (25% for World of Hyatt members) for stays between December 14, 2026 and June 30, 2027, bookable until Tuesday, December 22, 2026.

The Scoop On Andaz Gold Coast

  • First Andaz in Australia. This is the brand’s Pacific debut — 202 rooms and suites occupying floors six to 21 of The Star Gold Coast’s second tower, with interiors by Hachem and architecture by DBI.
  • Rooms families can actually sleep in. Look first at the two-double-bed rooms (36–39 sq m). A terrace version adds 22 sq m of outdoor space. King rooms start at 32–35 sq m; the Andaz Residence Suite stretches to 132 sq m with an entertainer’s terrace.
  • Level 6 is the social floor. Nove Restaurant and Bar, Vista Lounge, Verde Bar, and the Andaz Pool Club sit together on Level 6, so breakfast, pool time, and golden-hour drinks do not require a scavenger hunt through the tower.
  • Broadbeach, not a shuttle desert. Kurrawa Beach is about a 9-minute walk. Pacific Fair is roughly 500 meters away. The Star, the convention center, and Broadbeach’s restaurant strip sit at the door. Theme parks and Wet’n’Wild are a short drive.

How do I book Andaz Gold Coast with kids?

Book on the official Hyatt Andaz Gold Coast page and choose a two-double room so siblings share existing beds. Add children’s ages at checkout so occupancy is correct. Note any crib, high chair, or connecting-room request in writing. Opening stays start Monday, December 14, 2026, and grand opening discounts run through Tuesday, June 30, 2027.

Is it safe for toddlers at Andaz Gold Coast?

Yes, children of all ages are welcome, and the hotel is a standard, professionally staffed Hyatt property. There is no dedicated kids’ pool or club advertised, so toddlers need close adult supervision on the Pool Club deck and around floor-to-ceiling windows. Request a crib when you book and pack usual sun and water safety gear for Broadbeach.

What is included in the room rate?

The published from A$350 rate is room only. Guests get Wi-Fi, a complimentary non-alcoholic minibar, and access to the Andaz Pool Club and fitness center. Breakfast, parking, cabanas, and most dining are extra.

When should I stay if we want theme parks and beach?

Book two to four nights from Monday, December 14, 2026 onward so you can do one park day, one beach-and-pool day, and one Pacific Fair reset. Queensland summer is hot and busy; shoulder weeks after school holidays feel easier. Confirm Pool Club hours before you promise kids an afternoon swim.

How do I get from Andaz Gold Coast to the theme parks?

Drive or rideshare. Movie World, Sea World, Dreamworld, and Wet’n’Wild sit along the Gold Coast highway corridor, typically 15–30 minutes depending on traffic. Stay on Broadbeach Island so mornings start with a short hop, not a hotel transfer across town. Pre-book park tickets and a car seat if you are not renting a family car.

Why Little Steps Loves It:

Use Andaz Hosts for the days you leave the deck. Broadbeach puts you close to Pacific Fair for rainy-hour shopping, and a short drive from Warner Bros. Movie World, Dreamworld, and Wet’n’Wild — the same Gold Coast mix we flag in our Australia family trip guide.

Who It's Perfect For:

Beach fans big and small!

What Else:

It is not a water-park hotel. There is no published kids’ pool or slide. What you get instead is a cabana base after the beach and before dinner, with Kurrawa Beach a short walk away when the children want sand rather than tiles.
