Dean Cooper, General Manager


Kerrie Hutton, Executive Housekeeper


Kevin O'Loughlin, Accounts Manager


Margaret Lane, Reservations & Front Office Manager


In addition to supporting our staff culture, we are very proud to support our local sporting culture.  Over the years we have sponsored many Gold Coast sporting teams, both at a local and national level, in the fields of baseball, rugby league, gridiron, rugby union and outrigger canoes.  We are currently sponsors of the Gold Coast Blaze basketball team.

The hotel is also active members of Gold Coast Tourism, ATEC, Backpacking Queensland, Surfers Paradise Chamber of Commerce and the Gold Coast Adventure Travel Group.  Our involvement with these associations assists us with the marketing and development of the hotel and provides a vital link to the local business community.
