Avani hotel brand checking in to Sunshine Coast
Thailand based hospitality group Minor Hotels will introduce Avani Mooloolaba Beach Hotel to the Sunshine Coast, becoming the first internationally-branded new-build hotel there in nearly four decades.
Developed, owned and operated by KPAT Hotels under a franchise agreement with Minor Hotels, the 12-storey, 180-key property lies just 100 metres from Mooloolaba Beach.
“Avani Mooloolaba Beach Hotel represents a key milestone for Minor Hotels Australasia,” said Craig Hooley, Chief Operating Officer of Minor Hotels Australasia.
“The Avani brand’s modern, connected and design-led approach perfectly complements the Sunshine Coast’s laid-back lifestyle.”
Sunshine Coast Airport is only 15 minutes away and key attractions such as Australia Zoo are within a 30-minute drive.
The property features spacious rooms and one-bedroom suites ranging from 27 to 45 sqm, many of which offer interconnecting options.
Avani Mooloolaba Beach Hotel will feature three dining venues, including a signature restaurant and bar located on the 12th floor, offering views across Mooloolaba Beach.
The property will have a rooftop pool and bar, a lobby bar and a modern Australian restaurant.
The hotel’s dedicated events floor features four flexible venues that can host up to 250 guests.
Wellness options include AvaniSpa, with private treatment suites and a sauna, and AvaniFit, a contemporary fitness concept.
