Langham Hospitality Group has unveiled plans to expand its Australian portfolio with The Langham, Gold Coast.

Set to open in 2022 on Surfer’s Paradise beachfront, the hotel will feature 169 well-appointed rooms and suites; the group will also manage the Jewel Residences, Managed by Langham which consists of 170 serviced apartments.

The hotel and serviced apartments will occupy the central and tallest of the three landmark towers of Oppenheim Architecture’s Jewel development. The grand structure and shimmering exterior are reminiscent of three colossal quartz crystals, visible for miles from the Nerang River to the Gold Coast hinterland. The crystalline forms of the towers are inspired by the gemstone shards discovered in the region which dates back thousands of years.

Developed by AW Holding Group, the appointed architects for The Langham, Gold Coast and the Jewel are DBI Design and U.S.-based Oppenheim Architecture + Design respectively. The hotel interiors will be overseen by Sydney-based Studio Aria, which took the inspiration of the design concept from the prime coastal location and the nearby national parks and hinterland.

The colour palette distinctively reflects the “coast meets city” theme, with its soothing blend of teal, azure and tan shades derived from the local flora and fauna. The salt and sun bleached timbers, metal and glass materials give a natural yet contemporary finish which seamlessly integrates with and complements the modern architecture.

The culinary journey at The Langham, Gold Coast will be a gastronomic dining experience that endeavours to suit every discerning palate. The property will feature restaurants including 26 & Sunny, a casual “grab and go” café, Akoya for all day dining , a pool bar and a podium sky terrace with the Coral Moon bar overlooking the ocean.

Headlining the culinary offering will be T’ang Court, the signature Cantonese restaurant which will extend the prestigious reputation of its Michelin-starred counterparts at The Langham hotels in Hong Kong and Shanghai.

On the wellness front, Chuan Spa will offer treatments inspired by Traditional Chinese Medicine philosophies in a tranquil, meditative setting. This 500m2 spa will offer seven private treatment rooms as well as a health and beauty centre and a fully equipped fitness centre, an indoor free form and outdoor swimming pool.
