Great news for surfers and Oz fans alike! The $700 million Hilton Surfers Paradise complex on Queensland's Gold Coast today officially opened its doors, making it the newest leisure property from Hilton Hotels & Resorts in Australia, and the first Hilton property in the country to offer a combination of guest rooms and holiday residences.

With a range of accommodation options to suit the needs of all guests, the hotel offers a total of 169 guest rooms and 250 modern one-, two- and three-bedroom residences. David Kelly, general manager, Hilton Surfers Paradise commented that the complex was specifically designed in response to the demand for more flexible and spacious holiday options in the area. "Our self-contained residences include full kitchens, laundry facilities, as well as separate living and dining spaces, and are ideal for families, groups or anyone looking beyond the traditional hotel for superb accommodation," he said. "Guests at our residences also have access to all the services of the hotel including in-room dining, mini bar, daily housekeeping, valet parking, 24-hour reception and concierge."

Hilton Surfers Paradise also has some notable dining options, like Salt grill by Luke Mangan, which has a large open-plan kitchen offering direct interaction with the chefs. Lounge bar FIX will offer some unique libations, including a 'Fix Breeze' and 'Surfers Sling' served in vintage glassware. Those staying in residences and looking for groceries will appreciate The Food Store, a concept unique to Hilton Surfers Paradise.
