Exceptional Style

 

The Versace brand has been one of the most successful in leveraging itself beyond the catwalk with an entry to the luxury hotel market in the form of the inimitable Palazzo Versace which opened in 2000.

Success in leveraging

Still the only fully fashion-branded hotel in the world, Palazzo Versace offers one of the more luxurious experiences of not just accommodation, but also dining – eating and drinking from nothing but Versace homewares.

 

Every piece of cutlery and china is from a limited edition Versace line imported from Europe and each of the three award winning restaurants offers a completely different experience.

 

Vanitas, signature restaurant, offers a six course degustation dinner prepared by Chef de Cuisine, Martin Glutz. Each course is expertly matched with wines selected by the hotel sommelier.  Vanitas is a memorable experience in an intimate atmosphere overlooking the 65 metre lagoon pool.

 

Vie Bar + Restaurant, overlooking the hotel’s marina, offers a relaxed environment with a selection of contemporary cuisine. It is the ideal venue to languish over cocktails as the sun sets over the Gold Coast Hinterland, and Il Barocco, the all day dining restaurant, offers arguably the best seafood buffet dinner 7 nights a week. Le Jardin, the ideal cosmopolitan meeting place, offers high tea each afternoon. Only the finest materials have been used throughout the hotel, from fine Italian marble imported from Italy to mosaics, lamps and wall sconces cast in bronze and embellished with crystals and enamel.

 

 

Every aspect of the hotel has been meticulously attended to, from the Versacedesigned staff uniforms to the delicate Versace china settings. Palazzo Versace prides itself on striving for perfection in its customer service and has won a number of Queensland training awards. The appeal of a luxury hotel is in the special touches that reflect attention to detailthe luxuriant feel of fine-spun bed linen, fresh feather down pillows (the hotel offers an actual pillow menu to its guests), the delicate flavours of a fine wine or restaurant meal, and the exceptional personalized service.

 

The conference facilities also reflect the same luxurious feel as the rest of the hotel. By assigning a member of their specialist team to look after all meeting requirements, Palazzo Versace takes all the hassle out of organizing your meeting, conference or special event.

 

Located in a purpose-designed event sector of the hotel, accessed via a spacious prefunction lobby, the hotel’s function rooms vary not only in size but also in character and style. The grand La Medusa Ballroom, Marco Polo Room and elegant oval Boardroom cater for groups ranging in size from 12 to 500. From informal brainstorming sessions to corporate conferences, meetings, cocktail receptions and grand balls, Palazzo Versace provides the most comprehensive choice of options.

 

Competitive half and full day meeting packages are available and can be tailored to suit your requirements, with generous mid-week accommodation rates on offer to tempt even the most budget-conscious event planners. Palazzo Versace Gold Coast is a unique 5-star experience for both business and leisure.
