Hotel Jardin

Goldie hospitality insiders whisper about the cocktail program at Hotel Jardin—a multi-level Surfers Paradise stunner where the shaker tins never stop moving. Downstairs, it’s all coastal breeze and high-end grazing. Think Riverina Black Angus skewers fresh off the grill, impossibly crisp salt and pepper squid, and pristine cuts at the sashimi bar—served with omakase-level precision. Upstairs? A velvet-draped piano bar pulsing with live keys and intimate, low-lit energy. Discerning cocktail hounds make a beeline for the barstools here. The mixologists treat every bespoke build and classic spec with absolute reverence, shaking up everything from vivid, summery green concoctions to off-menu requests tailored on the fly. Savvy patrons time their arrival for the Golden Hour—scoring two-dollar oysters before seamlessly migrating to the adjoining SABA for Hokkaido scallop ceviche and banana leaf-wrapped barramundi. L'art du cocktail meets flawless hospitality. Next-level fit-out. A destination worthy of booking an interstate flight just for sundowners.
