The New Langham Hotel on Australia’s Gold Coast Is the First to Offer Beach Access in 30 Years
Australia’s Gold Coast hasn’t welcomed a new luxury build in 30 years, but a new wave of high-end hospitality is rolling in.
The Langham hotel brand, which dates back some 150 years, is opening a new outpost in the glitzy coastal enclave this spring. The Jewel, which is the first property in three decades to offer beachfront access, will comprise a hotel and serviced apartments that will be both located in the Surfer’s Paradise development’s striking central tower.
