"An exclusive five-pearl property with a Versace boutique, a private marina, and close access to Surfers Paradise." Full review
Afar Magazine "Luxury and opulence define Donatella Versace’s fashion sense." Full review
Lonely Planet "A glitzy Roman pastiche, the Palazzo Versace is the Gold Coast all over, from its opulent rooms (205 in total) to its sprawling restaurants and bars." Full review
Michelin Guide "Rather improbably situated on Queensland’s Gold Coast is one of the more eccentric hotel ventures we’ve ever seen — the Palazzo Versace, a monument to Milan-via-Miami haute decadence, is a joint venture between the eponymous fashion house and an Australian property developer, and is roughly one part tribute to the late Gianni Versace and two parts over-the-top luxury-resort fantasy" Full review
