What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in The 50 Discovery.
Every room has a view at the Langham, Gold Coast... some of the rooms are spacious three-bedroom apartments, and many of the views are dazzling, dizzying panoramas of the Pacific.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The beach sits directly outside, with Cavill Avenue a short stroll north and quieter Broadbeach to the south.
The rooms
Floor-to-ceiling windows look out over the Pacific or hinterland, and bathrooms have deep oval soaking tubs.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
Round timber pods fringe the outdoor lagoon pool. Inside, slatted wood ceilings hang over a heated 20-metre lap pool.
The spa
Treatments draw on Five Elements principles, and guests rest in spherical pod chairs behind geometric screens.
The gym
Life Fitness machines and free weights look out over the Pacific through wide oceanfront windows.
At the table
T'ang Court prepares Cantonese tasting menus, and beachfront Akoya cooks local seafood over a wood fire.
How it began
Architect Chad Oppenheim modeled the three angular towers on smoky quartz crystal shards discovered in the region.
