Airport hotels are usually chosen for convenience. Rydges Gold Coast Airport adds something particularly Gold Coast to the equation, the beach is almost as easy to reach as the terminal.

Located around 100 metres from Gold Coast Airport, the 4-star hotel offers 192 contemporary rooms and suites designed for travellers who want to keep arrivals, departures and everything in between straightforward.

Inside, rooms feature modern comforts with options including airport, hinterland and coastal outlooks. Outside the room, guests can unwind beside the resort-style swimming pool, keep moving in the gym or settle in for something to eat without leaving the hotel.

Runway Restaurant & Bar handles breakfast and relaxed dining, while the Salty Fox Rooftop Bar takes things upstairs with cocktails, casual food and sweeping views across the airport, coastline and hinterland.

Business travellers and groups are well catered for too. Flexible meeting, conference and event spaces combine with audiovisual facilities, catering and the obvious advantage of having an airport terminal almost next door.

Then there's the location beyond the runway.

The beach is just a short walk away, with Kirra, Coolangatta, Snapper Rocks and the wider Southern Gold Coast coastline all within easy reach.

That makes Rydges useful for much more than an overnight connection, it's an airport hotel where a late arrival or early departure can still feel like part of a Gold Coast holiday.
