It was going to be our weekend beach getaway with sun, surf and sand aplenty. Obviously not to be as we woke up to a slate coloured sky and the sound of beating rain. However, booked in we were and we decided to make the best of it, a bottle of Perrier Jouet in hand and a wishful basket of beach towels and sunscreen (in case the sun reappeared...?). Nevertheless, I was interested to check out the recently refurbished Gold Coast International Hotel remade into the QT Hotel. Upon arriving I did love the eclectic hotel foyer and lounge areas consisting of a vibrant mix of colourful furniture, lighting and quirky decor touches like a collection of vintage sunburst clocks along one wall. The mixture of 50s and 70s design aesthetic appealed to me very much. We settled in and watched the grey ocean with its grey waves rolling in conceding that we would have to be content with books, candles and champagne for the evening... and perhaps indulge in some room service. Altogether a very relaxing day in the end...
