Hotel in Surfers Paradise QLD 4217, Queensland, Queensland
The Langham Gold Coast
The Gold Coast's newest luxury beachfront hotel with direct beach access — the first new beachfront hotel built in over 30 years. Features 17 room types, a stunning infinity pool, and the award-winning Supernova restaurant.
The Langham, Gold Coast opened in 2022 as the first new beachfront hotel on the Gold Coast in more than 30 years, occupying a striking oceanfront position at 38 Old Burleigh Road in Surfers Paradise, Queensland. The 26-storey curved tower is purpose-built to maximise ocean exposure, and the property's 339 rooms and suites across 17 distinct categories represent the most comprehensive luxury beachfront accommodation offering on the Gold Coast strip. Room categories range from Premier Ocean Rooms with marble bathrooms and full-height sea views through to expansive Langham Suites with separate living areas and private balconies. The design language references the Langham brand's British heritage through rich jewel-toned furnishings and deep timber detailing while incorporating warm coastal textures that acknowledge the Queensland setting. All guests have direct access to the beach through the hotel's private beachfront gate. Supernova is the hotel's flagship restaurant, a celebrated modern Australian dining venue with a curved glass frontage mirroring the ocean panorama beyond. The menu draws extensively from Queensland's reef, hinterland, and farm produce suppliers and has attracted significant critical recognition since the hotel's opening. The Langham Lobby Lounge offers the brand's signature Afternoon Tea — a continued British heritage tradition served in a refined setting overlooking the water. The Coral Pool Bar provides casual poolside dining and cocktails throughout the day. The Chuan Spa takes its treatment philosophy from traditional Chinese medicine, offering a comprehensive programme across 11 private treatment rooms. Three pools cater to different guest preferences: a 50-metre outdoor lap pool, a resort lagoon pool for leisure swimming, and a dedicated family pool. A 24-hour fitness centre completes the wellness facilities. Concierge service follows the Langham group's internationally recognised standards — personalised pre-arrival customisation, 24-hour desk, and attentive guest ratio. The hotel accommodates both couples seeking a premium beach escape and families requiring resort-scale amenities. Gold Coast's theme parks, Pacific Fair shopping centre, and the G:link light rail network are accessible within 15 minutes by car or rideshare.

Tips
- Ocean-view rooms on levels 15 and above have unobstructed Coral Sea outlooks; most of the tower's rooms face the ocean due to the building's curved design.
- Reserve Supernova restaurant well in advance for Friday and Saturday evenings — it is among the most sought-after dining reservations on the Gold Coast and fills quickly.
- The hotel's direct beachfront position is genuinely rare on the southern Gold Coast strip; most other major hotels in the area are set back behind the Esplanade.
- Book Chuan Spa treatments at check-in or before arrival for public holiday weekends, when treatment slots fill within hours of the hotel reaching capacity.
- Broadbeach's Pacific Fair shopping centre and the Casino precinct are 10 minutes south by rideshare — the G:link light rail at Surfers Paradise Central is a 10-minute walk north of the hotel.
