19 January 2010
Renowned Gold Coast landmark, Surfers Paradise Marriott Resort & Spa, has been nominated as the Best Resort Accommodation (over 100 rooms) in Australia by the highly regarded national “Australian Travel and Tourism Awards 2009.”
The five-star resort is the only Gold Coast property to be nominated in its category and cements the award-winning resort as one of the most luxurious hotels in the country.
