Work has commenced on a $50 million Rydges-branded hotel at Gold Coast Airport, which is a milestone in the
development and activation of the precinct. Ground was broken on the hotel in February 2019, with a sod turning ceremony attended by Member for McPherson, the Hon. Karen Andrews MP, Minster for Tourism Industry Development Kate Jones MP and developer John Robinson.
The 192-room hotel, which will rise to the south of the airport site, will connect via a plaza area to the expanded terminal, which is also scheduled for redevelopment in 2019. The hotel will measure seven storeys and be topped by a rooftop bar and viewing deck, with views over Kirra Beach to the east and across the runway to the west.
