Jupiters Hotel & Casino, Gold Coast
The Gold Coast icon will feature a major upgrade of the existing 592-rooms hotel rooms and a brand new 6 star hotel tower with luxurious suites. The tower will include new signature bars and restaurants, private gaming rooms, a high-end exclusive lounge bar overlooking the infinity edge pool with skyline and ocean views. The $345 million transformation is due to be completed prior to the 2018 Commonwealth Games.
Superior King Room
The existing rooms are comfortable and spacious with a wall-mounted television set, a mini bar and shower over bathtub in the bathroom. The rooms have not undergone renovations yet but will be given a much-needed upgrade as part of the new transformation. Wifi connection is complimentary only at the hotel’s lobby and incurs a charge in the room.
