A 53-storey mixed-use tower that will house one of the Gold Coast’s largest luxury hotels broke ground last week in a sod-turning ceremony on Broadbeach Island. The $400 million development at The Star Gold Coast will also herald the entry to Australia of the internationally acclaimed Dorsett hotel brand. The Dorsett will be among an elite group of hotels on the coast and, with more than 300 rooms, will be second-largest in the Broadbeach region behind only The Star Grand.
