Excitement is building ahead of the opening next month of Heart Hotel & Gallery Whitsundays, a landmark new development scheduled to open mid September in Airlie Beach.
On our recent trip to Airlie Beach, work was still underway on the new boutique hotel, however the Queenslander façade and tropical feel were already apparent, along with high-pitched roofs and verandas dotted along the exterior.
General Manager, Jeff Aquilina reveals the extraordinary detail involved in fitting out the new boutique hotel. "Hunt Design Architects have been tasked with capturing the essence of a tropical Queenslander, creating an elegant and timeless design to blend seamlessly to the Airlie Beach foreshore". Windows have been double-glazed to ensure guests comfort during their stay in the vibrant township.
Located right in the heart of Airlie Beach's resort village, guests will be able to wander to local markets, Port of Airlie and be surrounded by restaurants, cafes and bars.
From the moment you arrive, Heart Hotel's friendly team of bespoke butlers will be there to greet you, extending highly personalised intuitive service to all its guests. The hotel will offer 24 hour Reception, a first for Airlie Beach.
The hotel features 40 luxurious rooms, thoughtfully decorated in a modern, sophisticated style. Featuring upper level club floors and modern elegant suites some boasting Airlie Beach or Coral Sea Ocean Views. Design inspiration will be in crisp blue & whites, drawing inspiration from the ocean and tropical surrounds.
In-room features will include Bose sound systems, impressive 'Big Ass' fans, Movielink premium channels, free WiFi, indulgent rain showers and French amenities from L'Occitane.
First class food and wine will be the cornerstone of Heart Hotel's success with a range of restaurants, lounge bar and street side café available for visitors and guests. The air-conditioned casual, yet elegant and sophisticated surrounds are bound to be popular with locals and guests.
Heart Hotel falls under Accor's M Gallery by Sofitel brand designed to embrace each destinations unique style to create memorable moments. Accor members will be able to enjoy all the benefits of their loyalty programme in this new boutique hotel.
A unique feature of the hotel will be an art gallery located on the top floor, which will feature monthly exhibitions from local Whitsunday artists. The opening exhibition is still under wraps, with details to be revealed soon.
