The Airlie Beach Hotel is expanding its accommodation offering, announcing 34 new rooms available to book from 31st August.
The renovation includes spacious private ensuites, ocean and village side options, and a new range of studio rooms with configurations to suit bookings of up to six. The decor is reported to boast neutral hues, light wood tones, minimalist bathrooms and expansive windows.
The 34 new rooms, all located on the 1st floor, will soon be ready to welcome honeymooners exploring the Whitsundays locale, friends looking for a getaway, or families excited to soak up the sun. According to a spokesperson, “The hotel is the ideal destination.”
“These new rooms give guests a few more ways to stay right in the middle of it all,” said
Sandy Muscat, Venue Manager at Airlie Beach Hotel.
“Close to the lagoon, the boats, the Esplanade, and the pub downstairs. People can spend the day out on the Whitsundays, come back with salty hair and sandy feet, and still make it in time for dinner, live music or the game. That’s very Airlie, and that’s what we love about this place.”
The Airlie Beach Hotel has been operating since 1968, its long-standing success cemented by this latest expansion.
Guests are partly drawn to its iconic pub, which has held a reputation as a staple of Airlie Beach nightlife for over 50 years. The venue has developed a busy entertainment calendar which they credit for turning the venue into a meeting point for locals, as well as holidaymakers and guests.
Weekly events include Musical Bingo, APL Poker and Acoustic sessions, plus a run of major gigs, tribute shows and live sport- the venue marks the NRL Grand Final on 4th October as an upcoming highlight, with former Parramatta Eels winger Eric Grothe to be in attendance.
A central location on the Airlie Esplanade is also a major draw.
“Guests enjoy the benefits of being right on the water, close to all the local amenities and stroll along the promenade.” A spokesperson shared.
“Guests are also able to book their tours of the Whitsunday Islands through the venue.
“Not only does the Hotel provide guests with optimal access to the Whitsunday Islands, but it is also only 500 metres away from the Airlie Beach Lagoon.
“The pub overlooks parklands and the beach, giving guests a place to eat, drink and gather without leaving the property. The bistro serves lunch and dinner, spanning seafood, open flame grill steaks, pizzas, burgers and pub classics.”
The Airlie Beach Hotel’s new rooms will be completed and ready for guests from the end of August. Bookings are open now.
