Free homemade lemonade in the lobby, an edible chocolate welcome note, a killer view out over Surfers Paradise. For me, by the time I try out the bed, I\u2019m ready to never move.<\/p>\n<p>Bieber seemed to need a little more stimulation, choosing to graffiti one of the hotel walls.\u00a0While some locals were a little upset, the hotel embraced its new decoration, stating \u201cit was a coup for the hotel to have Justin want to paint a piece of art in appreciation of his stay. This piece of art is now available to be viewed by fans of the artist and we believe that it is a wonderful addition to the colourful Gold Coast arts scene\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The QT Gold Coast is a new breed of hotel where the d\u00e9cor is as important as the destination. And that d\u00e9cor just got a whole lot more street cred, making the news around the world when the newest wall art was created.<\/p>\n<p>Before Bieber left his mark, there were still plenty of little touches designed to set this hotel apart. From the vintage Holden in the driveway, to the retro outfits worn by the staff, QT Gold Coast is bringing Palm Springs 50s glamour back to life.<\/p>\n<p>Each time I walked into an elevator, I was greeted by pin up girls stuck on the mirrors. In the rooms cockatoo night lights, funky neon orange lamps and colourful wall hooks take the standard king to a new level. And it\u2019s all for sale \u2013 from the robes and bed to the pick up sticks game in the minibar, you can buy it all.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You don\u2019t go to the\u00a0Gold Coast\u00a0to sit in your hotel room \u2013 white sand, good waves, theme parks, farmers markets, shops, cafes, restaurants, bars and clubs \u2013 there\u2019s plenty to do whether you\u2019re young, old, with the family or travelling solo.
