RYDGES AIRPORT HOTEL
Gold Coast, Queensland
The landscaping surrounding Rydges Gold Coast Airport plays a major role in transforming the hotel from a functional airport stay into a relaxed coastal destination that reflects the laid-back character of the southern Gold Coast.
The project combines subtropical planting, resort-style pool landscaping and carefully integrated outdoor spaces to soften the scale of the modern development while creating a welcoming arrival experience for guests.
One of the standout features is the landscaped green wall positioned externally near the entry, which introduces texture, greenery and a strong visual connection to the surrounding coastal environment.
The vertical landscaping element helps break up the architectural form while reinforcing the hotel’s contemporary resort aesthetic.
Throughout the site, lush planting and open-air spaces complement the hotel’s coastal-inspired interiors, rooftop amenities and outdoor dining areas, creating a seamless transition between built form and landscape
