Not another Gold Coast tower — a resort that still knows your name
We opened in 2011 with 96 rooms and one promise: the kind of service big casino resorts forgot years ago. Fourteen years on, we're still family-run, still answering the phone on the second ring.
The hotel sits just off the Pacific Motorway in Banora Point — close enough to the beach for a morning swim, far enough to dodge the Surfers Paradise crowds. Downstairs, the casino hotel hums till late; upstairs, the rooms stay library-quiet.
- 186 rooms & suites, most with hinterland or river views
- A relaxed casino environment — strictly 18+, always supervised
- Free secure parking, fast Wi-Fi, no resort-fee surprises
Rooms built for sleep, not just for show
Every room gets blackout curtains, a rain shower and a mattress we'd happily sell you. Book direct and breakfast for two is on us.
Luxury King Room
$219/night42 m² on floors 6–12 — king bed, deep armchair, walk-in shower and a view over the hinterland that photographs itself.
Room details & booking
Panorama Suite
$389/night78 m² corner suite, separate living room, soaking tub with a view and a dedicated host line. Only six exist — they go first.
Suite details & bookingA casino environment with manners — and a very good bar
320 machines, 24 live tables — roulette, blackjack and baccarat from $10 minimums — a poker pit on weekends and a VIP salon with its own entrance. Casino entertainment without the big-strip rush.
Responsible Gaming — solarispalace. The casino environment is strictly for guests 18 and over. If gambling stops being fun, talk to our team or call Gambling Help on 1800 858 858 — free and confidential, 24/7.

What people say after the weekend
Real reviews from real stays — the good, the very good and the occasional "why didn't we stay longer".
"Booked the Stay & Play package for our anniversary. Suite was spotless, the roulette dealers walked two total beginners through the rules, and the rooftop bar at sunset is genuinely something."
"I fly into Gold Coast Airport monthly for work — this is ten minutes away and the beds are better than my own. Breakfast coffee is the real deal too."
"Mum's 70th in the private dining room — staff organised flowers, a cake and a window table without being asked twice. Already booked the Christmas party."
