Mondrian Gold Coast officially opened on June 10, 2025, introducing the Mondrian brand to Australia for the first time. Situated in Burleigh Heads, the 208-key beachfront hotel sits along one of Queensland’s most iconic stretches of coastline. The property is part of a larger mixed-use development, which also includes 83 private residences housed in a neighboring tower. Mondrian Gold Coast was developed in partnership with Vitale Property Group and is operated by Ennismore, Accor’s largest and fastest-growing lifestyle hospitality company.
The hotel’s architecture was originally conceived by Elenberg Fraser, with the final design and execution completed by Fraser & Partners under the guidance of founding and lead architect Callum Fraser. Interior accommodation spaces were shaped by California-based Studio Carter while the lobby, LiTO restaurant, and poolside venue Haven were completed by Sydney’s Alexander & CO.
Accommodations include 132 studios, 63 suites, 10 two- and three-bedroom homes with full kitchens and open-plan living areas, two private beach houses with plunge pools, and the Sky House—a residential-style penthouse occupying the entire 24th floor with a chef’s kitchen, private bar, and five-meter-high windows framing panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean.
On the ground floor, LiTO brings a relaxed yet refined coastal Italian dining experience, led by Italian-born Head Chef Andrea Morigi. Open all day, the restaurant serves wood-fired breads, hand-rolled pastas, and tableside tiramisu alongside an elevated drink menu. Upstairs on the third floor, Haven offers a seafood-forward menu curated by Executive Chef Aaron Teece, with a focus on regional sourcing and woodfire cooking. The venue includes indoor dining and poolside service, complete with private cabanas, live music, and an agave-forward cocktail menu.
The hotel offers a wellness and lifestyle program designed to meet the expectations of today’s performance-focused traveler. CIEL Spa features a curated mix of treatments, rituals, and bio-wellness therapies, integrating global skincare brands such as Augustinus Bader, Synergie Skin, and Knesko. The spa’s advanced offerings include Hydrafacial, microneedling, infrared sauna, red light and polythermal light beds, zero gravity and cryo-therapy dry float treatments, a Himalayan salt room, and a cosmetic medical suite. An Australian-first scalp and hair therapy powered by Augustinus Bader’s patented TCF8® technology is also available. The Movement Studio, located beside the spa, supports strength and performance training through goal-driven modalities. Additional facilities include a 24-meter resort-style pool, magnesium-infused plunge pools, and 20 flexible event venues across four levels, including the Mondrian Ballroom and sky-high VeeRoom.
Cultural programming is a defining feature of the property, with an evolving calendar of music showcases, artist collaborations, and community-rooted experiences planned year-round. With its beachfront setting, design-led approach, and balance of culinary, wellness, and cultural offerings, Mondrian Gold Coast aims to set a new standard for hospitality on Australia’s iconic surf coast.
