Southport is having a moment. Long the quieter sibling of Gold Coast hotspots like Surfers Paradise, this once-understated suburb is quickly turning heads as the region’s new go-to destination. The latest addition to its growing allure? TRYP by Wyndham Southport Gold Coast—a chic, 4.5-star apartment hotel that’s just opened its doors and is already making waves.
TRYP is all about bringing a fresh, modern vibe to the area. Tucked inside the sprawling Imperial Square development(a $3.8 billion mega-project), the hotel combines stylish design, self-contained convenience, and some seriously jaw-dropping rooftop views. Whether you’re a local planning a cheeky staycation or visiting from out of town, this is one address worth checking out.
At the heart of TRYP is its 225 self-contained apartments, ranging from one- to three-bedroom setups. Each space is designed with a modern aesthetic—think clean lines, lots of natural light, and those oh-so-satisfying floor-to-ceiling windows that make the most of Southport’s skyline and waterways. Whether you’re a family on a week-long getaway or flying solo for a work trip, these apartments have all the essentials covered: fully equipped kitchens (perfect for nights in), plush king-sized beds, and sleek bathrooms that wouldn’t look out of place in a design mag.
The real showstopper, though, is what’s waiting on the rooftop. TRYP’s infinity pool delivers the kind of panoramic views that make you want to grab your phone for a photo before you even dive in. On one side, you’ve got the glittering Gold Coast skyline; on the other, the Pacific Ocean stretches out to the horizon. Whether you’re floating under a bright blue sky or watching the city light up at dusk, it’s a pool worth packing your swimmers for.
For those who prefer to stay on dry land, the hotel also has a steam room, sauna, and a state-of-the-art gym (because why skip leg day just because you’re on holiday?). A day spa is in the works, too, so you’ll soon be able to treat yourself to a massage or facial without ever leaving the property.
When it’s time to eat, TRYP keeps the good vibes rolling with Amore Ristorante, its Italian and Mediterranean-inspired restaurant. Whether you’re in the mood for fresh pasta, classic seafood dishes, or a well-earned glass of vino, Amore serves up the kind of hearty, flavour-packed meals that make you want to linger for just one more bite. The space seats 100, so whether it’s a romantic dinner or a big family lunch, there’s room for everyone.
Southport, Reimagined
What’s particularly exciting about TRYP is its role in Southport’s ongoing transformation. As part of the massive Imperial Square development by Azzura Investments Limited, the hotel is just the first glimpse of what’s to come. Future plans include The Majesty, a 108-level skyscraper set to become the tallest building on the Gold Coast, as well as other residential and commercial towers that promise to turn Southport into one of the city’s most exciting hubs.
“We’re thrilled to officially open TRYP by Wyndham Southport Gold Coast,” says Daniel Sprange, the hotel’s General Manager. “The TRYP by Wyndham brand stands out for its modern, vibrant, and localised approach, and we’re proud to offer the Gold Coast a hotel experience that’s as dynamic as the area itself.”
Whether it’s the rooftop pool, the spacious apartments, or the fact that you’re a stone’s throw from Southport’s best shopping, dining, and beaches, TRYP by Wyndham is setting a new standard for stays in this part of the Coast.
Why TRYP by Wyndham Southport Should Be on Your Radar
If you’re looking for a weekend escape or a base to explore the Gold Coast, TRYP by Wyndham Southport makes a pretty strong case. It’s polished without being pretentious, stylish without trying too hard, and just far enough from the tourist-heavy zones to give you some breathing room.
