Accor to Rebrand the Radisson Resort Gold Coast on 18 December 2012

Accor will take over the Radisson Resort Gold Coast on 18 December 2012 and re-brand the hotel as the Mercure Gold Coast Resort.

The hotel is Accor’s 200th in Australia, achieved just over 21 years after launching its first hotel in Australia.

The resort boasts a prime location in the Gold Coast’s “Green Belt”, within easy driving distance of the Gold Coast’s legendary beaches, as well as the Springbrook – Mt Tamborine rainforest area.

With the recent opening of a new extension of the freeway, the resort is just over 20 minutes to Gold Coast’s airport, less than an hour from Brisbane and within easy driving distance of Gold Coast’s theme parks, Metricon Stadium, Skilled Park and the Robina business centre.

The resort is affiliated with five championship golf courses, including the adjacent world-class Palm Meadows course, which has hosted a wide range of international tournaments over the last 25 years.

Guests have access to the hotel's extensive resort facilities, including a day spa, driving range, two outdoor pools, four floodlit tennis courts, a fully equipped gymnasium, sauna and an outdoor spa.

The resort is particularly well designed for conferences, events, incentives, weddings and other functions, with a capacity for up to 700 delegates. Facilities include 10 versatile conference rooms and three outdoor venues.

“For Accor it is a very strategic new addition to the network, both because it represents a significant landmark for Accor’s expansion in Australia, and also because it adds to the group’s portfolio in the Gold Coast,” said Accor Pacific Chief Operating Officer, Simon McGrath. “The addition of the Mercure Resort will allow us to cater for growing demand in the mid-market, especially for conferences, events and groups.” 

Accor was appointed managers of the resort by GC Hotel Management
