Gold Coast: Hotels & Evening Entertainment

The Gold Coast is a beach city in Queensland. Broadbeach, in its central part, combines beaches and greenery with shopping and a busy restaurant scene, and the light rail links it with Surfers Paradise. The Star Gold Coast, a resort with hotels, restaurants, bars and a casino, stands on Broadbeach Island and is joined to the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre by an undercover walkway. The Star Grand is one of its hotels.
