This smoke-free hotel has an à la carte restaurant serving Australian cuisine and is situated in close proximity to The Star Gold Coast.

The 5-star award-winning hotel benefits from a stunning setting only 6 minutes' walk from The Pavilion Convention Centre. The SkyPoint Observation Deck is 2.6 km from premier The Darling, and Gold Coast airport is 20 km away.

Nature lovers will appreciate the proximity to Broadbeach, which is just 8 minutes' walk away. Also, the accommodation is 3.4 km from the Infinity Attraction, and Varsity Lakes train station is located 11 km away.

Leisure & Business

A fitness club and a heated pool are available at The Darling. You can also relax with a facial massage along with a Jacuzzi, a sauna, and locker rooms.

“In my opinion, the hotel excels with its rooftop infinity pool and Technogym-equipped fitness center. However, some have reported service inconsistencies that detract from the otherwise luxurious suites. I think that travelers seeking both indulgence and proximity to the beach will find much to appreciate.”
