QHA REVIEW | 26
As a result, the hotel’s conferencing and event rooms
evolved into comfortable corporate rooms inspired by
Venice Beach subculture. The idea behind the spaces
was to meld the industrial design of more traditional
conference rooms with a more relaxed atmosphere,
highlighting a ‘new normal’ way of meeting.
It was these brand-new Longboard, North Break and
South Break corporate rooms that won the hotel their
fourth and final award, Best Meeting & Events Venue,
at this year’s QHA Awards for Excellence.
Dominic said the hotel needed to evolve with the city’s
coming of age as the best place to meet on the global
stage, and so the reimagining was put into motion to
solidify QT Gold Coast’s standing as an industry leader
in design-led accommodation and event spaces.
“The award is a testament to the team’s hard work
and dedication. We pride ourselves on creating
experiences in a hotel where guests escape the
ordinary, and we couldn’t achieve this without our
amazing team.
“The transformation of the level one and two
conferencing and event spaces and accommodation
was the first step in elevating the hotel as a
world-class destination. We recognise the importance
in continuously growing the value of each asset,
which is reflected in the refresh and expanded spaces
for meetings and events and our 293 guest rooms
and suites.
