Since the opening of its first property, Mondrian LA, in 1996, Mondrian has continued to break the mould of lifestyle hospitality. Built by some of the world's most iconic dreamers and visionary designers, each Mondrian emerges as a creative hive where the fantastical meets the future and dream-like spaces immerse guests in the culture of the place it inhabits, both in aesthetics and spirit. These distinctive hallmarks of the brand have been the driving force behind its successful expansion, currently encompassing 11 properties based in some of the world's most exciting cultural destinations.

Mondrian's expansion in Australia marks an exciting milestone for the evolution of the brand, which is part of Ennismore, the fastest-growing lifestyle hospitality company. Located on one of Queensland's most iconic beaches and surrounded by outstanding natural beauty, Mondrian Gold Coast will capture Burleigh's eclectic rhythm, creative community and sun-bleached surf scene.

Set within a sculptural masterpiece designed by leading Australian architects Fraser & Partners, the hotel unfolds across 24 floors allowing for breathtaking views across the pine tree-framed beach and Pacific Ocean beyond as well as the verdant Hinterlands. The sleek design of the 208 studios, suites and homes, including spectacular two- and three-bedroom Beach Houses and the hotel-crowning Sky House, has been conceived by award-winning Studio Carter and is informed by the textural and tonal interplay of the sugar-white sands and pandanus-studded coastline.      

Designed by acclaimed multi-disciplinary architecture practice Alexander &Co, the ground-floor restaurant spills out onto a sun-dappled terrace, blurring the lines between inside and out and capturing Burleigh's infectious energy and humming street scene. On the third floor, the oceanfront restaurant and pool club are a tangible celebration of the region's exquisite local produce and culinary creativity. A wellness space and spa specialising in future-forward treatments, as well as an extensive hybrid events space, completes the scene for the Gold Coast's most exciting new arrival.

“Australia has long been a strategic focus for Mondrian's growth, and the Gold Coast was a focal point thanks to its phenomenal natural setting, rich cultural landscape, and vibrant social scene. Over the last couple of years, we have seen a rising demand for lifestyle brands, where locals and international guests are looking for authentic, creative and immersive experiences – all the hallmarks of the Mondrian brand. It felt a natural choice to bring Mondrian to the Gold Coast and we believe it will resonate strongly with the local market and lend something entirely new to the hospitality space”, says Chadi Farhat, Brand COO Mondrian Hotels & Residences.
