The Pink Hotel

Coolangatta, QLD

A fairy-floss pink former motel on Griffith Street in Coolangatta, restored and reopened as a rock-and-roll-themed hotel. Every room is decorated differently, with pink neon, record players and mid-century touches, and the rooftop bar Santeria looks out over Greenmount Beach.

What makes it

  • Santeria rooftop bar
