The Palazzo Versace on Australia’s Gold Coast, adjacent to the marina and opposite the more conservative Sheraton Mirage, this property has proven itself to be more than just a fleeting fashion accessory for its predominately wealthy and worldly clientele. This hotel oozes glamour and color with everything seemingly culled from, or bound for, the web pages of Versace.com. Donatella has created a fitting tribute to her fashion-pioneer brother, Gianni, offering excellent attitude-prone service, exceptional dining, cutting-edge style, and lushly comfortable public areas and accommodations. This is the choice on the north coast for those who prefer Manolo Blahniks over golf shoes and anyone wanting to make a corporate or personal sweeping statement.
Guests begin the experience by traversing a circular walkway of classical pillars, past the date palms and decorative drive, and on through elegant glass doors tucked beneath a sculpted portal. The cantilevered structure, which vaguely resembles an 18th-century manor house, reveals a stunning lobby of fine Italian marble, stately columns, a gold-leaf ceiling, and an antique chandelier that once belonged to the late Mr. Versace himself. A recent refurbishment changed the in-your-face bright colors to a very stylish decor of golds, greens and blues. Reception is a sit-down affair, and as a testament to service, bags usually reach the accommodations before guests do.
Vanitas, the hotel’s premier dining outlet, is a boldly contemporary room overlooking the pool. Picasso-esque murals and elaborate inlaid marble floors create a Continental air. Il Barocco offers all meals , and Vie Bar and Restaurant serves superb European fare at lunch and dinner amid harbor and marina views. Other options include Le Jardin for drinks and afternoon tea. Prices are lower and the atmosphere is less stuffy than might be expected.
The free-form outdoor pool conjures images of the Arabian Nights with ponds, a miniature beach with a children’s toy box, and obligatory date palms. The indoor plunge provides the chance for splashing without distracting views. The spa offers steam rooms, two saunas, massage services, and a gorgeous Romanesque bathing zone. A gym opens 24 hours for those who want to tone up. A boutique stocks the full range of Versace products and a private 90-berth marina beckons to those with boats.
The 24-hour business center and meeting rooms for 600 delegates await those with work to do. Autos are housed at no charge, while limousines can pluck the chosen from the airports.
The accommodations, while not especially large, emphasize luxury and elegance, with classical empire and regency-inspired furnishings, lovely sconce lighting, and signature fabrics and throw pillows from the Versace Collection. Ebony armoires harbor TVs with PlayStations, Internet access is via data port or wireless, and CD players, minibars, spacious closets, and king or twin queen beds are standard. Fine marble baths feature elaborate toiletries, stall showers and whirlpool tubs. Some units boast furnished balconies, and those on the western side offer picturesque water views. Two- and three-bedroom condominiums offer self-contained facilities. Nearly half the rooms are smoke-free, and 12 rooms are designed for guests with disabilities. Always-on-call room service is supplemented by solicitous butlers.
The sophisticated, friendly staff provides attentive service to a diverse clientele of leisure seekers and corporate types who arrive from all corners of the globe. While golfers and parents traveling with children will appreciate the Marriott and Radisson, singles, couples and cosmopolitan style-lovers will enjoy Palazzo Versace.
